Splunk Connect for Syslog is an open source packaged solution for getting data into Splunk using syslog-ng (OSE) and the Splunk HTTP event Collector.
The Splunk Connect for syslog demo uses docker and docker compose to configure a instance of Splunk along with syslog-ng and a test harness to simulate a mix of events. Ensure git, docker and docker-compose are pre-installed and working prior to continuing.
