Getting Data In

Palo Alto App

Hi All

Hoping someone can help me, I am trying to get the Palo Alto App working we are a Splunk cloud customer and have this app on our search-head 

 

When I search for eventype=pan I see the logs but they are NOT reclassified

 

Our set up is we have our Palo Alto firewalls pushing to a syslog server on standard port 514, this data at the moment is currently being ingested as one syslog stream via universal forwarder, where the sourcetype=syslog and index=syslog. 

 

In inputs.conf in

 

/opt/splunk/etc/system/local I have configured the below

 

 [monitor:///data/rsyslog/10.0.0.1/10.0.0.1.log]

index = pan_logs

sourcetype = pan:log

host_segment = 3

 

 

The guide states to configure your TCP outputs in 

 

/ opt/splunkforwarder/etc/system/local/outputs.conf in this file we have 

[tcpout]

indexAndForward = 1

 

As a cloud customer we have our company app in root@syslog:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/OUR_COMPANY_APP/default

 

The outputs.conf has but no input file 

inputs1.name.splunkcloud.com:9997

inputs2.name.splunkcloud.com:9997,

 inputs3.name.splunkcloud.com:9997,

 inputs4.name.splunkcloud.com:9997

inputs5.name.splunkcloud.com:9997

inputs6.name.splunkcloud.com:9997

 

The input file being used is

 

oot@syslog:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/local

 

The PaloAlto app states to add your indexers to Create or modify/opt/splunkforwader/etc/system/local/outputs.conf 

 

and add a tcpout stanza: 

 

Could I copy over the outputs from root@syslog:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/OUR_COMPANY_APP/default to /opt/splunkforwader/etc/system/local/outputs.conf
