splunk not recording spanningtree logs

My core switch had several spanning errors this morning, but Splunk did not record them. They are in the switch logs though - I need to know how to make it record those events (really, just record everything). Here's an example of logging info that is not in Splunk for my core switch:
%SPANTREE-7-RECV_1Q_NON_TRUNK: Received 802.1Q BPDU on non trunk TenGigabitEthernet1/1/2 VLAN98.
%SPANTREE-7-BLOCK_PORT_TYPE: Blocking TenGigabitEthernet1/1/2 on VLAN0098. Inconsistent port type.

We need more information to work with. What product is this data coming from? How is it being onboarded into Splunk? Are there any filters on the data?

Never mind - I found the problem. I was searching in Smart mode - changed to Verbose mode and they showed up. Thanks
