Customize inputs.conf Palo Alto - Multiple sources udp:514

Dear,

I configured the inputs.conf of the palo alto app exactly as the documentation.

However, in addition to the palo alto logs, I get other logs via udp: 514. The configuration in inputs.conf is forwarding all logs via 514 to the pan: log sourcetype.

How could I change only the high-pit logs to the sourcetype pan: log?

You can use the following in your inputs.conf

[udp://SOURCE_IP:PORT]

Three options:

Best: let a dedicated syslog daemon receive the data, write to disk, let a universal forwarder read the log files and assign sourcetypes per file.

Bad: make each source use a distinct port.

Bad: keep all sources at one port, define props/transforms to rewrite source types, index, etc based on the event, host, etc.

Hi,

I am pretty certain, that splunk can handle one sourcetype for one UDP:Port input.

I think a dedicated syslog server could deal with this though.
