Search Syslogs

Hello,

When you click on Logs -> All you see the Syslog Receiver entries. How do I filter down to only see entries for a specific source.. such as all log entries sent by one of my routers? There is no search box for it, no filter button, no anything. If you can't actually analyze anything, why is the syslog there? Its collecting reams of data that could never be used anyway.

Hello,

For more details and further filter options, click on the "Messages" tab of the Syslog Receiver sensor. You will see all received messages in a table list. On the top, you have display filter options to drill down into the data for specific events of your interest.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. Yes,. I have seen reference to that in some other google searches now, but I have no such "Messages" item among the tabs at the top. According to the online manual, it should be sitting between the 365 and Historic Data, but it is NOT there.

I am running version 15.4.20.4775

Hi,

I'm trying, but there is no means to insert a screen shot here it seems. When I clicked on your Profile to see if I could find another contact method/email, there isn't anything in there for me to use to send you a screen shot either. How would you like me to provide that ?

Hi,

You can either upload the screenshot to an image hoster of your choice and enter the URL with the markup code

{{http://imageurl|Image description}}

or you can forward the screenshot to [email protected] by referring to this knowledge base article.

Best regards, Felix
