Getting Data In

Not getting data in Edge Processor

Hello everyone,

 I am trying to send syslog data to my Edge Processor and it is the first time and it seems that it is not as simple as Splunk proposes.

I am sending the data to port 514 TCP which is listening, the edge processor service is up and seems to be working.

With a tcpdump it seems to get something to port 514, I put an example of the output:

 

 

root@siacemsself01:/splunk-edge/etc# tcpdump -i any dst port 514 -Ans0
tcpdump: data link type LINUX_SLL2
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL2 (Linux cooked v2), snapshot length 262144 bytes
12:00:33.644148 ens32 In IP 10.100.11.46.34344 > 10.100.11.237.514: Flags [.], ack 791814934, win 502, options [nop,nop,TS val 441690529 ecr 2755011762], length 0
E..43.@.@...

.S...6$.

 

 

But in the instance section nothing appears as inbound data.

I also found this in the edge.log file:
