Configuration Properties
The following table explains the attributes of Syslog and provides a description of each one of them.
1
syslog Required Inheritance
Object
Syslog port map configuration
2
proto
String
UDP or KafkaReader
3
port
Integer
Port designated for syslog traffic. Use the standard port or indicate the designated port. The standard UDP port is 514.
4
disable Required
Boolean

Options Configuration
5
options
List
Define custom options for severity-cutoff, severity-cutoff-low-priority, timezone, and expiration-date.
6
severity-cutoff
String
Severity level until which syslog is ingested and carried across Augtera pipeline. The default level is warning. Any message below this level subjected to severity-cutoff-low-priority
7
severity-cutoff-low-priority
String
Any messages between the severity-cutoff and the severity-cutoff-low-priority are ingested ONLY if there is a matching classifier. Any message with severity level below this are dropped.
8
timezone
String
Indicate the timezone for the syslog source and not the local timezone. This is needed for syslog in RFC 3164 format. If this is configured incorrectly, the data might not appear in the UI Trends. Value should be a standard TZ identifier.
Following is a sample JSON configuration snippet to ingest syslog over UDP port 514. Data above the warning level will appear in the UI. Any messages below info will be dropped. Any message below level warning and info will only be ingested if there is a matching classifier.
