Hi

I would like to send the logs generated by the wireless lan controller to splunk. I received the url with port from splunk to send the data, but the controller only accpets IP addresses in the syslog server box.

If there a way to find the ip address for the URL. Tried using the ip return when sending ping request to the server but it does not seem to be working.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you could do something like 'ifconfig -a' if you're using a linux box, or 'ipconfig -all' if you're using windows, and you can see the ip addresses of the network devices on the splunk server. You could also use something like nslookup from the remote side to see what dns thinks the address of the server is:

'nslookup mysplunk.domain.com'

This is really just a matter of using the network utilities that come with your operating system.
