Question

Can anyone tell me what does Splunk use to categorize the type of data being indexed?

Answer 1

The answer is source types.

Splunk uses source types to divide the type of data being indexed. Splunk maintenances the Common Information Model (CIM).

Splunk allows indexing, searching, forwarding the web interface for Splunk Enterprise.

The source type is a default field that identifies the data structure of an event. A source type controls how Splunk Enterprise formats the data in the indexing process.
