Getting Data In

Palo Alto App not doing sourcetype transform

Hello

I have data being sent from Palo Alto to our syslog server. I have set it up following the guide here: https://splunk.paloaltonetworks.com/universal-forwarder.html

I now have also installed the Palo Alto add-on and the app. I have the data in splunk showing up as sourcetype = pan:log but none of the transforms are happening so therefor the app is not working.

What should I check to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

First check whether the log is the source type.

index=your_index  sourcetype=pan*

It is other than "pan: log" if it is linked properly.

If the log is correctly captured and the screen is not displayed, the following causes may be considered.

· You are not accelerating the data model.
· The original log is customized.

The search head and indexer are on the same server so yes!

Yes I am searching in verbose mode
I have verified step four but the sourcetype transforms are not working.
I can search by the source and get "sourcetype=pan:log"
