Splunk for Blue Coat ProxySG: ProxySG logs indexing in the wrong format

[tequilalinux]

While getting Proxy SG BlueCoat logs, all events data coming from bluecoat sourcetype look like this:

\xA4\x9Fjv5\xC8(\x904UV{I\x93\xD2R\xD2ߌKSZ\xBDuT\xEF9\xAC\xFD\x93Uo\xA0\x8F{\xA8\xDEF\x81\xE0\xA90\xAE,nq\xE8
Un\xFF\xE2\xE4û\xED:\xD3-\x83:\xF0o!

On proxySG, you need to change log format to text instead of gzip. This should resolve the issue.

Hi Koshyk, the logs are onboarded via syslog, using TCP 1526 port.

[koshyk]

are you using syslog server to collect the logs or directly into Splunk?
