Which directory is indexed third during search time?

  1. App directories for all other apps

  2. Current user directory for app

  3. App default directories

  4. System local directory

The correct answer is: App directories for all other apps

During search time in Splunk, the indexing order of directories is important for determining which configurations and settings are applied. The correct directory indexed third is the app directories for all other apps. When a search query is executed, Splunk follows a specific order to determine which configurations to apply. The system local directory is indexed first; it contains system-wide settings. Following that, the app default directories are indexed, which provide default settings for the specific app being used. Finally, the app directories for all other apps are indexed. This means that if there are competing or overriding configurations, the settings in the current user's app directory will take priority over the app defaults, and app-specific settings may take priority over those from all other apps. Understanding this order is crucial for troubleshooting and configuring search behavior in Splunk since it ensures that the most relevant settings are applied based on the context of the search.
