Routing and filtering syslog

ezparra05 · ‎02-05-2021

Have Palo Alto logs being sent to syslog-ng server. A UF is on the syslog-ng and forwarding logs to Heavy Forwarder. I have a list of specific firewall (hostnames) and zones that I need to filter a copy of the traffic by and send to different (separate) indexer . Is it possible to filter and route using either the UF or HF?

Hi @ezparra05,

You should use HF for route/filter data. Please see below document.
