Getting Data In

How to onboard unknown source SC4S?

Hello Splunkers!

We have deployed SC4S and it works fine for Trend but we're now using it for VPN (Aviatrix) which doesn't have a prebuilt source.

Data coming into main on the fallback so we're good to go, but looking for details on HOW to add custom sources.  I've been through https://splunk-connect-for-syslog.readthedocs.io/en/master/ many times but nothing really explains it.

We've deployed Bring Your Own Environment and everything is under /etc/syslog-ng.

Would really appreciate some steps on how to add new source!

Thanks
