ok - I will look at that - I'm not quite new to spunk - but in this installation we're using rsyslogd - but I have used syslog-ng in the past. I used to be able to point spunk to the directory and it just grabbed all log files recursively. In this case, spunk will not match the log files. We use log-rotate and .gz old files. logs from each host are put in subdirectories - files are named by the date .log I'm probably missing some basic stuff here. going to look at rsyslog conf and further how to get those files into spunk (better!)

Hi So we are forwarding syslog using rsyslog to a udp port 2001 - all is working well except... problem: host is always 127.0.0.1 sample message looks like: Sep 24 11:37:11 127.0.0.1 Sep 24 11:37:11 X.X.X.X 1693874: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:Sep 24 11:37:11.073 GMT: tcp[395]: %IP-TCP-3-BADAUTH : Where X.X.X.X is the IP of the sending syslog device. host = 127.0.0.1 source udp:2001 sourcetype = syslog Is it possible to get those IP's into the host tag - as everything is tagged to 127.0.0.1 ?? I have looked at some answers pointing to editing transforms.conf and props.conf (I edited the /opt/splunk/system/local files) but nothing is working I also get the double timestamps - both when Splunk receives the message and also the Cisco timestamp. any ideas ? ...
