Newbie soure type question (SLF4J)

Hi,

We are importing a file that is in SLF4J into Splunk (cloud version). Is the log4j source type equivalent? Or is there another source type we should use or... is there something we need to add to Splunk?

Logs generated through both log4j and slf4j usually are custom application logs, so I'd recommend creating a custom sourcetype per application log or group of similarly structured logs. There you'd configure timestamps, event breaking, field extraction, and so on.
