Under what stanza and in what file would SSL information be expected on a receiver?

The correct choice indicates that SSL information would be found under the [ssl] stanza in the inputs.conf file. This is because inputs.conf is specifically used for configuring inputs, which include settings for how data is received, and SSL settings are critical when dealing with secure data ingestion. This file allows for defining whether or not incoming connections should use SSL and includes parameters such as paths to certificates or keys required for secure communication.

In the context of Splunk's architecture, SSL configuration at the input level ensures that any incoming data traffic is encrypted, providing a layer of security. The [ssl] stanza within the inputs.conf file contains essential parameters such as enableSSL, serverCert, and privateKey, which dictate how Splunk will handle secured connections on the data input side.

While the other options discuss various configurations related to outputs or different stanzas, they do not correctly address the placement of SSL-related settings specific to data reception. Thus, the identification of SSL configuration specifically within inputs.conf under the [ssl] stanza is a critical understanding for effectively managing secure data flows in Splunk.
