Which is the correct order for indexing during search time in Splunk?

System default, App default, App local
App local, App default, System local
Current user, App local, App default
App default, App local, System local

The correct answer is: Current user, App local, App default

The correct order for indexing during search time in Splunk is from the most specific to the more generalized configurations. This means that the settings specific to the current user are prioritized first. After that, the configurations defined within the app local context are taken into account, followed by those set in the app default context. This hierarchy ensures that users can have personalized settings that reflect their specific needs or preferences without being overridden by more general configurations within applications. It allows for a tailored experience where the configurations that are most relevant to the user's current session take precedence. As a result, this order supports flexible and dynamic searching in Splunk environments, where user-specific customization can be layered on top of broader application settings while still maintaining the foundational system-level settings that are consistent across all users and applications.
