Getting Data In

How long does/should it take to see syslog messages?

I'm testing Splunk and am trying to capture syslog messages from a Cisco ASA. I only have the Splunk Cisco Firewalls and Splunk Cisco Security Suite apps installed (along with sideview and maps) I removed all the other ones as instructed in another post. I see some messages, but they aren't being transformed correctly. So following some answers related to this issue, I've added the transforms.conf to the local folder in Cisco Firewalls. Right now, I'm trying to force syslog messages to show up to test if the transform is working correctly, but I'm not seeing them.

I went back and deleted the data input and went with a simple UDP on port 514 and I'm seeing them. My issue was a bad data input configuration.
