What setting should be changed to True to ensure that unacknowledged data is resent by the forwarder?

usePending
useReceive
useACK
useResend

The correct answer is: useACK

To ensure that unacknowledged data is resent by the forwarder, the setting that should be changed to True is the useACK option. This setting is crucial in configuring the behavior of the data transmission process in Splunk. When useACK is set to True, it enables acknowledgment of data at the receiving end, meaning the forwarder waits for an acknowledgment from the indexer that the data has been successfully received before it considers the data as successfully sent. If the indexer does not acknowledge receipt of the data, the forwarder will recognize that the data has not been successfully processed and will attempt to resend it. This is particularly important in environments where data integrity and delivery confirmation are critical, ensuring that no data is lost during transmission between the forwarder and the indexer. The other options do not serve this purpose: they either pertain to different settings regarding data handling or are not relevant to acknowledgment and resending mechanics. Thus, for guaranteeing the reliable delivery of unacknowledged data, using the useACK setting is essential.
