What information can you obtain by executing 'splunk status'?

Executing 'splunk status' provides information about the current status of the Splunk instance. This command gives a quick overview of the operational state of Splunk, indicating whether the instance is running, its uptime, the number of indexed events, and the instance's resource utilization, such as memory and CPU usage. This information is crucial for monitoring the health and performance of the Splunk deployment, allowing administrators to quickly assess if everything is functioning as expected or if there are any issues that need attention.

While the other options refer to different aspects of Splunk, they do not represent the output of the 'splunk status' command. Configuration settings or index configurations would be accessed through different commands or configuration files, and system logs for troubleshooting would require examining log files rather than using the 'splunk status' command.
