Getting Data In

Need assistance on Log forwarding from UF

I am trying to forward win event security logs from server using UF to our Heavy forwarder.  UF has all the required apps configured however I only see its internal logs in tcpudmp on the Heavy forwarder and not the actual logs.

 

following is the config - 

[WinEventLog://Security]
_TCP_ROUTING=indexer1,indexer2
disabled = false
index=test
start_from = oldest
current_only = 1
evt_resolve_ad_obj = 1
checkpointInterval = 5
 
above inputs is standard across our org and few servers has outputs configured to indexer1, and some to indexer2, hence you see both in the outputs above.
 
outputs - 
[tcpout:indexer2_HF]
autoLB=true
server = 1.0.6.7:9997,1.0.6.8:9997
 
what else is missing ?

Hi @Navanitha 

Your _TCP_ROUTING should use the same value as the tcpout: value in outputs.conf
e.g.

_TCP_ROUTING=indexer2_HF

or, for both:

_TCP_ROUTING=indexer1_HF,indexer2_HF

Hi @Navanitha ,

at first, it isn't clear why you are separating data between indexers, anyway the name in _TCP_ROUTING must be the same of the outputs.conf stanza, instead you have a different name: indexer2 instead of indexer2_HF.

Ciao.
