Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux: Why are syslogs from Linux servers being returned as raw events?

[sabaKhadivi]

As I installed linux TA and app , received logs are in the form of raw event and they aren't indexed with this TA.
Linux servers send logs to universal forwarder by syslog, and when i search in the related index, logs seem to be raw events, and field extraction hasn't happened.

The TA is most downloaded in Splunkbase. What is the solution?

The Splunk TA for Linux does not expect events to arrive via syslog. Events sent via syslog are in a very different format for which you will have to craft your own props.conf settings.

@sabaKhadivi,

Splunk TA for linux contains a set of scripted inputs to collect system information such as cpu,memory,process etc from the system.

Are you looking for RFC5424 Syslog ?
