Answer 1

Answer:

2,3,4,1.

Explanation:

When consuming a global configuration, such as inputs.conf, Splunk software first uses the attributes from any copy of the file in system/local. Then it looks for any copies of the file located in the app directories, adding any attributes found in them, but ignoring attributes already discovered in system/local. As a last resort, for any attributes not explicitly assigned at either the system or app level, it assigns default values from the file in the system/default directory.
