Hi, You could use syslog-ng on your management servers. Set up a file source for syslog-ng (eg.): file("/var/log/managementserver.log" program_override("CS-Manager1: "));
Then set up a remote destination (eg.): destination d_tls { tcp("splunk.myserver.com" port(516) tls( ca_dir("/opt/syslog-ng/etc/ca.d") key_file("/opt/syslog-ng/etc/key.d/syslog.key") cert_file("/opt/syslog-ng/etc/cert.d/syslog.crt")) ); Then tell syslog-ng what to do (eg.): log { source(s_local); destination(d_messages); destination(d_tls); } On the splunk box you should have another syslog-ng running if you want TLS and redirect it into splunk from there otherwise just point it at your splunk listener. Hope this helps.

Does someone have some experience on this or some script settings that have been effective with them? Thanks, Matt
