Which command shows the on-disk configuration for inputs.conf?

The command that shows the on-disk configuration for inputs.conf is appropriate because it provides a detailed view of the current settings defined in the inputs.conf file. This command utilizes Splunk's btool, a powerful tool for troubleshooting and inspecting configuration files by displaying merged configurations.

By running this command, users can effectively see how configurations are applied, including all settings relevant to inputs such as data collection sources and their associated parameters. This is particularly useful when trying to resolve conflicts or understand how specific configurations interact with other settings across different apps and user-defined configurations.

Other commands, while related to configuration management in Splunk, either do not provide the on-disk view specifically for inputs.conf or focus on different aspects of configuration management. Thus, using btool is essential for detailed insights into the inputs configurations that are currently being utilized by Splunk.
