Splunk for F5 Networks

Hi all,

I've installed Splunk for F5 Networks application to make some tests on it.
I'm using 11.5 TMOS version and there's something wrong on the regex it uses.

I made some changes on it to match informations needed but it still doesn't work, could you confirm me that it's into /opt/splunk/etc/apps/SplunkforF5Networks/default/transforms.conf every transformations are done ?

Here is the newest regex which include old and new format of syslog events :
/]:\s(........:.):\sPool\s(\S+)\smember\s(\S+)\smonitor\sstatus\s(\S+).\s?[?\s?(?:\S+)?:?\s?(?:\S+)?\s?]?\s+?[\swas\s(\S+)\sfor\s(\S+)/

Thanks in advance for your response 😉

Thanks for your response.

My problem is not on f5-syslog event but on f5-syslog-eventcode, which is just below the one you saw.

[f5-syslog-eventcode]

REGEX = /]:\s(........:.):\sPool\s(\S+)\smember\s(\S+)\smonitor\sstatus\s(\S+).\s[\s(?:\S+):\s(?:\S+)\s]\s+[\swas\s(\S+)\sfor\s(\S+)/
FORMAT = event_code::$1 ltm_pool::$2 ltm_member::$3 ltm_monitor_status::$4 ltm_prevstatus::$5 ltm_prevstatus_time::$6

Can you elaborate on the sourcetypes you see within the search part of the F5 app? Looking at the transforms I see that it is doing sourcetype rewriting. Is this app installed on the indexing tier as well, otherwise it is probably not rewriting the sourcetype at index time.

[f5-syslog]
DEST_KEY = MetaData:Sourcetype
REGEX = (01070727:5|01070638:5)
FORMAT = sourcetype::F5:LTM:Syslog
