Is it true that turning SSL on between the forwarder and receiver automatically compresses the data feed?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Depends on the data volume

  4. Only in heavy forwarders

The correct answer is: True

Turning on SSL between the Splunk forwarder and receiver does not automatically compress the data feed. While SSL provides a layer of encryption to secure the data being transmitted, it does not imply any form of data compression. Data compression in Splunk is a separate feature that needs to be explicitly configured. When compression is enabled, it reduces the size of the data being sent over the network, which can improve performance and reduce bandwidth usage, but this is not a direct function of SSL encryption. In the context of the other choices, the idea that it would depend on data volume or the specific type of forwarder being used does not hold up, as the mechanism for SSL and data compression operates independently of such factors. Therefore, it is clear that simply enabling SSL does not result in automatic compression of the data feed.
