Match IP network source

I want to add data of a network, for example 192.168.0.0/24.
But when i select TCP/UDP, and i add 192.168.0.* on "Accept connection of" i don't receive log of my network.
But it work when i just indicate UDP port.

It's a problem with my regex ?

Splunk is not a network sniffer in itself.

Your option are:

  1. Configure Syslog to send data from each host on your network to a TCP/UDP port

    https://access.redhat.com/solutions/54363

  2. Install a Universal forwarder on each of your hosts

    http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/7.0.1/Forwarder/HowtoforwarddatatoSplunkEnterprise

  3. Install and deploy Splunk Stream for network traffic

  4. many others
