How to get data data from ArcSight Connectors

The integrating Splunk with Arcsight document, states it is possible to feed Splunk with data coming straight from a Connector. Do you have any idea how this is possible?

The ArcSight website is not as full of infos as Splunk's...
And, yes, I know this might not be the right community, but it's the one I happen to trust.

Hello. If you still have the configuration on setting up Splunk to receive data from Connectors that'll be awesome! Can you send me a copy of your instructions? Thanks.

Just wondering: is it possible to forward CEF data to splunk from Logger itself to Splunk? This would limit the effort on the connectors as, I'm told, you need quite a number of them even for small environments

Hi gooza. So, it is possible to configure an Arcsight Connector to send data to a 3rd party receiver in CEF over Syslog format. Thank you very much

I highly recommend using http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22280/cef-common-event-format-extraction-utilities

it parse the arcsight cef format quit easily

as for time stamps extractions I recommend adding the following in the relevent stanza in porps.conf:

TIME_PREFIX = \s(end|rt)\=

TIME_FORMAT = %10S%3n

MAX_TIMESTAMP_LOOKHEAD = 350
