I'm having the a similar issue.

I have configured 2 source types that are receiving Data:
cisco:asa (udp 5514, used for ASA)
cisco_syslog (udp 514, used for the IOS devices)

I selected these from the drop-downs when I created the listeners (I didn't see 'syslog' in the drop-downs when creating the switch source type).

Since the TA is looking for the 'syslog' source-type, what modifications can I make so that it will find the cisco_syslog sourcetype and convert it?

Hi,

  1. The Technology Add-On should transform your "syslog" sourcetype to sourcetype "cisco:ios". You need to make sure the technology add-on is installed on the indexer. If you have a combined search head and indexer you install both the TA and the Cisco IOS app on that server. After you install the TA you need to restart the Splunk indexer
  2. The Cisco IOS app searches the "cisco:ios" sourcetype. It will not display any data for the "syslog" sourcetype.

Please post a screenshot of your results searching for that event. Include the "index" and "sourcetype" fields.

For your reference the sample log you posted matches the regex transform in the TA, which means the transform should work as long as the apps are installed as described in the documentation.
