In props.conf, valid stanzas can include source types, hosts, and source specifications. The correct syntax uses colons for specific types, such as source types and hosts, but follows a particular format:
* A. [sourcetype::linux_secure]is the correct answer. This is a valid stanza format for a source type in props.conf. It indicates that the following configurations apply specifically to the linux_secure source type.
* B. [host=nyc25]:Incorrect, the correct format for a host-based stanza uses double colons, not an equal sign.
* C. [host::nyc]:* Incorrect, wildcards are not used in this manner within props.conf.
* D. [host
]:* Incorrect, the correct format requires double colons for host stanzas.
