* For example, if you set 'host_segment = 3' and the path is * If set to N, the Splunk platform sets the Nth '/'-separated segment of the path * If 'host_regex' and 'host_segment' are both set, the input ignores 'host_regex'. * If the regex fails to match, the input uses the default 'host' setting. * Specifically, the first group of the regular expression (regex) is used * Detail: This feature examines the source key if source is setĮxplicitly in the stanza, that string is matched, not the original * If specified, extracts host from the path to the file Hi additional information: you can extract the host from the path using the segment or a regex still on path or filename: host_regex =

* 'shortname' returns the NETBIOS name of the machine.

* 'clustername' also uses Windows DNS, but sets the value to the domain and machine name. * 'fullyqualifiedname' uses Windows DNS to return the fully qualified host name as the value. * The value returned for the 'host' field depends on Windows DNS, NETBIOS, * Valid values are 'fullyqualifiedname', 'clustername', and 'shortname'. 'host = $decideOnStartup' setting and value. In all these example it should pick only hostname1,hostname2,hostname3. * Applies only to Windows hosts, and only for input stanzas that use the Need help with regex for nf to change the host as hostname and incase host has FQDN it should pick up till hostname only. Splunk platform instance when you specify an input stanza with 'host = $decideOnStartup'. * The type of information to use to determine how splunkd sets the 'host' value for a Windows $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_TA_paloalto/local/inputs.Hi I said, on nf you can only set up a value for host, evetually read from the path.īut if you want to have the FQDN for all Universal Forwarders, it's possible to configure the hostaneme to use FQDN adding this option to nf: hostnameOption=fullyqualifiednameĪs you can read at hostnameOption = CLI Ĭreate the nf in the correct directory: You can optionally use a more specific sourcetype than pan:log such as pan:firewall.

Set any other settings such as Method or Index as appropriate for your environment.Change the App Context to the Palo Alto Networks Add-on.Click Select Sourcetype -> Network & Security -> pan:firewall.In the row for UDP or TCP click Add new (SSL Data Inputs can't be created in the GUI).In the top right corner, click Settings -> Data inputs.It is preferable to use pan:firewall instead of pan:log because less parsing is required and timestamps will be slightly more accurate. Select a sourcetype įor App/Add-on 6.0.x and lower use the sourcetype: pan:log Log source The Add-on will automatically detect the source of each log and parse it correctly. Use the GUI to create a Data Input, or create it in nf using the CLI.įirewalls and Panorama can all send logs to the same data input and port. If unsure, set the acceleration time period to 7 days.ĭatamodel acceleration is not required if using the Add-on only. The time period represents how much data will show in the dashboards, and has a significant impact on storage usage. Acceleration is on by default in App 6.0 and lower, and off by default in App 6.1 and higher (due to new Splunk app certification rules).Įnable it now by navigating to Settings -> Datamodels, then select each Palo Alto Networks datamodel and enable acceleration for a time period of your choice. If using the Palo Alto Networks App, you must enable datamodel acceleration to see data in the dashboards. Syslog to Splunk using the following protocols: Product

For instruction on how to do this, please skip this article and go to the Syslog-ng and Universal Forwarder Guide. Syslog-ng and Universal Forwarder An alternative to sending the logs directly to Splunk, it is common to send logs to a syslog-ng or other intermediate syslog server, then forward the logs from there with a Splunk Universal Forwarder. Panorama sends its own logs to Splunk and can forward logs from firewalls to Splunk. Log Forwarding App for Logging Service forwards syslogs to Splunk from the Palo Alto Networks Logging Service using an SSL Connection.įirewalls can send logs to Splunk directly, or they can send logs to Panorama or a Log Collector which forwards the logs to Splunk.
