Selected Answer: A
The followTail attribute in inputs.conf controls whether Splunk starts indexing from the end of a file (tail) rather than reading the file from the beginning. Setting followTail = 1 allows the forwarder or indexer to ignore pre-existing data and only index new events appended to the file.
