I collect syslog from Cisco devices, splunk shows two different timestamps in one event:
Oct 14 14:59:01 x.x.x.x 282814: Oct 14 14:49:54.254: %IP_VFR-4-FRAG_TABLE_OVERFLOW: GigabitEthernet0/0.214: the fragment table has reached its maximum threshold 16
Oct 14 14:59:59 x.x.x.x 282822: Oct 14 14:50:29.078: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access5, changed state to down
If i restart splunk, difference between timestamps will be about 1 minute, then it became more, on some devices i saw difference about couple hours. Events apear at Splunk much later than on device. First i thought that first timestamp is time of receiving event, but on another syslog server this time not more than 5 seconds.
What is the first timestamp? And what about this latency?
