Monitoring Splunk

Log sent to port 514 not appearing

I configured my application to log to Splunk, I see the package arriving in wirehark but it does not appear in wireshark.

What setting have I forgotten? Or is it missing

Hi toledotiago,
the input you opened is Splunk-TCP input to receive data from a Splunk Universal Forwarder in Splunk’s internal format, not any arbitrary tcp source.

Take a look at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.0/Data/Monitornetworkports for the tcp/udp input you are looking for.

If you are dealing with syslog i highly recommend this blog:
