Getting Data In

Importing data

Hello,

I am going to set Splunk up on a test rig for work as a possible tool that might be used. If snare is installed on desktops within the test rig setup would that be imported to Splunk?

Thanks

Not sure how to interpret the question, but here goes: you could use Snare for sending Windows event logs via syslog to Splunk, yes. Even better would be to use Splunk's own Universal Forwarders for achieving the same thing. You'd get events that are formatted a bit more clearly + you'll get extracted fields right out of the box.
