The Admin role (Option D) has the privilege to use the Log Event alert action, which logs an event to an index when an alert is triggered. Admins have the broadest range of permissions, including configuring and managing alert actions in Splunk.

TheAdminrole in Splunk has the necessary permissions to use theLog Event alert action. This action allows alerts to generate log entries in the_internalindex, which can be useful for auditing or tracking alert activity.

Here’s why this works:

Permissions Required: The Log Event alert action requires administrative privileges because it involves writing data to the_internalindex, which is typically restricted to users with elevated permissions.

Default Roles: By default, only theAdminrole has the required capabilities (edit_roles,schedule_search, andwrite_to_internal_index) to configure and execute this alert action.
