View our Tech Talk: Platform Edition, Splunk Connect for Syslog: Turnkey and Scalable GDI 

Splunk Connect for Syslog is a containerized Syslog-ng server with a configuration framework designed to simplify getting syslog data into Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud. This approach provides an agnostic solution allowing administrators to deploy using the container runtime environment of their choice. Additionally, skilled deployment engineers with syslog server experience can utilize the source and configurations directly to craft their own custom solutions more easily and more consistently than starting from scratch.

Tune in to:

  • Learn how easy it is to both onboard sources utilizing the default syslog port or sources that are on a custom port.
  • Learn all about a new Repeatable, Concise, Scalable, and Prescriptive Splunk solution for syslog GDI.
  • Understand how removal of the UF reduces configuration and management effort.
  • See how easy turnkey deployment via the SC4S container architecture is.

Tech Talk discussions remain open for two weeks following the live Tech Talk event. Have more questions?View our syslog tag in community for more.
