Ideally you could have syslong-NG or rsyslog output that data to a file and Splunk would monitor that way. However, if that's not available you would have a forwarder installed and have the syslog data come in from your network devices via UDP or TCP.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/SyslogUDP

This is a great app to look at as well -> http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22300/cisco-security-suite. Dashboard views, reports, field extractions and content for your Cisco devices.

I'm getting syslog messages from switches into /var/logs/syslog. and on top of it I have also installed universalforwarder on syslog-ng server.

I need to know the process to seperate the syslogs for each switch and router and send the data to cisco networks app on the splunk.

Please guild me
