Hi ,
A user is complaining that :
From hostname1, we are pushing the syslog to Splunk indexer server IP - 10.20.30.40 via Port 55XY,
can you please check if anything needs to be done from Splunk end to see the data in Splunk.
Can anyone please me on this.
Regards,
Rahul
Don't push syslog directly to splunk indexer. At least not in production environment.
Use some intermediate syslog receiver (sc4s is quite popular for this, I myself am a huge fan of rsyslog) from which splunk ingests the data in other ways (HEC, files).
Thanks @PickleRick for reply.

(that's general idea for rsyslog but if you've never used it before, it may not be that straightforward)
or
