I've set the sourcetype in the syslog input to be 'passman' - events are being ingested, but fields aren't being extracted. The tag of 'account' is being added though. Have I set the wrong type?
The TA uses sourcetype pipelines in order to "match" the event to three different types of logs: pmp_resource, pmp_login, pmp_notification. If the fields are failing to extract the syslog output from your appliance might not match the regular expressions found in the TA. An easy way to test this is to copy some logs into a regex editor (regex101.com) and use the EXTRACT regexes to test that the regexes are valid against your logs.
Example for pmp_resource logs:
EXTRACT-passman=(?P<date>\d+\-\d+\-\d+\s\d+\:\d+\:\d+)\s(?P<facility>\w+\.\w+)\s(?P<program>\w+)\s(?P<otherdate>\w+\s\d+\s\d+\:\d+\:\d+)\s(?P<host>\w+)\s(?P<logged_in_username>\S+)\:(?P<src>\S+)\s(?P<operation_type>\S+)\s(?P<operated_time>\d+\/\d+\/\d+\s\d+\:\d+\:\d+)\s(?P<status_of_operation>\w+)\s(?P<pmp_server_name>\S+)\s(?P<dest>\S+)\:(?P<user>\S+)\:(?P<reason>\S+)
Thanks - looks like the extracts in the TA no longer match what PMP is sending then.
Yes. I'm on PMP Version: 9.1.0 / Build Number: 9101 and the date format being sent to Syslog is not in a valid ISO 8601 date, such as "2004-05", but rather "Mar 2" [sic]. So much for this statement from Manage Engine "A RFC-3164 compliant Syslog message will be generated and sent to the configured host and port, using the chosen protocol"
