Which index-time attributes in props.conf impact indexing performance?

REPORT
LINE_BREAKER
ANNOTATE_PUNCT
SHOULD_LINEMERGE

The correct answer is: LINE_BREAKER

The LINE_BREAKER attribute in props.conf plays a significant role in indexing performance because it determines how Splunk breaks incoming data into individual events. By specifying a suitable LINE_BREAKER configuration, you can optimize how data is parsed at index time. This affects both the speed of data ingestion and the efficiency of storage because how data is segmented directly impacts the size and number of events stored. If the LINE_BREAKER is not configured properly, it could lead to larger events that contain excessive amounts of data, potentially leading to longer processing times and increased resource consumption. Therefore, by fine-tuning this attribute, you can ensure that events are properly segmented, ensuring a smoother and faster indexing process. While other attributes in props.conf also contribute to how data is handled at index time, their impacts on indexing performance may not be as direct or as significant as that of LINE_BREAKER.
