Does splunk support RFC 5424 format?

Hi All,

The older version does not support RFC 5424. And in the latest doco, it mentioned that forwarding to 3rd party supports the old style syslog (RFC 3164).

Please confirm. If not, please tell us the work around on how we can support the newer syslog format. If we need to add an add-on, we will do so.

Kindest Regards
Ricky

Found a solution. There is an addon we can use

Hope this is useful to others who are facing the same requirement (to support RFC 5424)
