Getting Data In

Is it possible to use sourcetype and host stanzas for the same event?

We have the varonis ta and its props has the following section -

 

[varonis:ta]

 

However, each varonis server that sends us data has a different time zone and the data doesn't have the time zone as part of it. Therefore, can I have also?

 

[host::tkvar*]
TZ = <Tokyo Time Zone>

 

Will it work?

Yes it will. The precedence order will be of the below. 

  • source
  • host
  • sourcetype
