Getting Data In

Is it possible to send logs in CEF format or raw logs by syslog from Splunk to a third party system?

Hi at all,

I have to send logs to a third party system by syslog.
I configured my system and I'm able to send events to a third party system, but the receiver needs to have logs in raw or CEF format and Splunk sends syslogs in a different format.

Is it possible to change the logs format or to send raw logs by syslog?

Thank you.
Bye.
Giuseppe

Guiseppe,

You could use App for CEF https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1847/
We are using it to send data in CEF format to ArcSight, only downside to this is, you have to use a standalone searchhead, as you can't use it in a searchheadcluster.

Hope this answers your question.
