Syslog data to separate index

[bharathkumarnec]

Hello All,

We have two separate servers with host name ABC & xyz, these servers are sending data to Syslog index via port 5514.

We wanted to send xyz host data to separate index for example syslog1.

Kindly help me out on how to achieve this.

Hi bharathkumarnec,

Use props.conf and transforms.conf for this either on the HWF or IDX if you don't have a HWF

 #props.conf
 [syslog]
 TRANSFORMS-routing_for_syslog1_index = route_to_syslog1_index

 #transforms.conf
 [route_to_syslog1_index]
 DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
 SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Host
 REGEX = xyz
 FORMAT = syslog1

This will route all events from host xyz into the syslog1 index.

Cheers, MuS

Thanks for the reply.

We have hosts with xyz, xyz1, xyz2.
So in regex can we give xyz*, will it take??

This is my actual props & transforms settings:

[source::tcp:5514]
TRANSFORMS-idx = syslog_idx

[syslog_idx]
SOURCE_KEY = _raw
REGEX = .+
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = syslog

Do I need to add the above stanza's separately or under these??

[bharathkumarnec]

Below one worked well:

props.conf

[syslog]
TRANSFORMS-routing_for_syslog1_index = route_to_syslog1_index

1. #transforms.conf [route_to_syslog1_index] DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index SOURCE_KEY = MetaData:Host REGEX = xyz
2. FORMAT = syslog1

Thanks for the help!
