Hello,

I´have configured a router (CISCO 1841) to send syslog messages to my workstation that i´have install the splunk.

The problem is that who APP i need to install to receive the syslog messages? I just add a new DATA with UDP port 514, but now i need the APP to seed the log files?

Please help me, thanks

INEM,

You don't have to install an app to receive syslog messages. Just enable the input.

Check out this doc:
