There you'd configure timestamps, event breaking, field extraction, and so on.</P> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 21:26:34 GMT martin_mueller 2016-03-21T21:26:34Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Newbie-soure-type-question-SLF4J/m-p/256433#M49261 <P>Hi,</P> <P>We are importing a file that is in SLF4J into Splunk (cloud version). Is the log4j source type equivalent? Or is there another source type we should use or... is there something we need to add to Splunk?</P> Mon, 21 Mar 2016 19:49:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Newbie-soure-type-question-SLF4J/m-p/256433#M49261 dbcase 2016-03-21T19:49:29Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Newbie-soure-type-question-SLF4J/m-p/256434#M49262 <P>Logs generated through both log4j and slf4j usually are custom application logs, so I'd recommend creating a custom sourcetype per application log or group of similarly structured logs.
