To troubleshoot inputs, which btool command can give detailed information about monitored logs?

The command that provides detailed information about monitored logs is pivotal in troubleshooting data inputs in Splunk. The use of "splunk btool inputs list --debug" is particularly significant because it not only lists the inputs configuration but also includes debugging information. This additional context allows system administrators to see how their configurations are being resolved and whether there are any issues with the setup of monitored logs.

The --debug flag reveals details such as the file paths being monitored, the sourcetypes assigned, and any inheritable properties that may affect log collection. This depth of information is crucial when trying to diagnose problems with data inputs, as it helps pinpoint misconfigurations or conflicts within the inputs setup.

In contrast, the other options either do not provide the complete depth of diagnostic information needed or do not exist as valid commands within Splunk. For example, a command that might merely list or show basic configurations without the debugging context would not suffice in a troubleshooting scenario where operational clarity and insight into potential misconfigurations are needed. Thus, the command that includes the debug option is essential for effective troubleshooting.
