Hi All,

We are in the process of onboarding logs from a centralized log server, where all endpoints forward their logs. We have installed a Splunk Heavy Forwarder on the server to monitor and forward these logs to the Indexers.

I would like to know if there are any default sourcetypes available for data sources such as systemd.log and sudo.log

if yes, then the addon will take care of the sourcetype automatically.
