Maybe A too? Using searchtypes command sounds like it could create event types directly from searches, which fits the question wording. So A, B, C, and D all seem possible.

D imo, because building event types from the search results is a quick and valid way in the UI. That option shouldn't be overlooked even if config editing is possible.

B imo, since editing props.conf is a legit config method too.

C imo, because that’s the standard GUI method everyone uses.

It’s tricky without knowing which Splunk version this is about. Some methods might have changed over time. Also, does the question mean valid ways in the GUI only or also config files? I’m pretty sure B is right since props.conf is used to define them, but A seems off because I don’t think there’s a “searchtypes” command. C and D are definitely valid in the UI though. Anyone know if “searchtypes” was ever a thing or if the question expects multiple correct answers?
