Hi All,
Scenario:
I have 10000 Universal Forwarder deployed in windows servers and those servers contains windows event logs like security, authentication etc.I have three standalone securonix nodes and syslog-ng with tcp port is enabled on all three securonix servers. Requirement is to send windows event logs from splunk to securonix servers. I decide to follow tcp filtering and routing method from splunk to securonix servers.
Question/concern:
1) Syslog-ng can handle this huge traffic ?
2) If Syslog-ng is down, it will make splunk UF to stop sending/ingesting data ?
3) if Syslog-ng is down or can't handle the traffic it will make splunk to crash ?
4) Any other best way to send data from Splunk to Securonix server?
