Hey ,

Is it possible to index data using Splunk from a network simulation in GNS3 ?

Thanks.

Hi KhalidHALBA,

Splunk Enterprise can index any type of human readable time stamped data. If your GNS3 can stream data like in syslog then it is possible. If your GNS3 produces file based log file which is readable by human then it is possible.

If you only get binary logs, you have to consider some other way to do this like scripts reading and formating the binary logs into text logs. Or using your simulated Network devices and send if possible their syslog stream into Splunk.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
