Hello All,

I am working on the installing and getting data In for SC4S(Splunk connect for Syslog).

For installation I referred below link and the service is running without any error.

https://splunk.github.io/splunk-connect-for-syslog/main/gettingstarted/quickstart_guide/

But the problem am facing is testing the data in , as mentioned in document am trying to send data in UDP port, but some how its giving below error.

Command am running:

bash echo “Hello SC4S” > /dev/udp/<SC4S_ip>/514

Error am getting as below

bash: /dev/udp/: Is a directory

Note: Currently the test data send from UDP port is same as SC4S installed machine, as am doing POC on SC4S so only one machine am using for both.

Please can any one help me on this, as am not finding any related question on this same.
