What’s the best way to get logs from IGEL OS terminal to Splunk?


Got a question for the slack channel. What’s the best way to get logs from IGEL OS (UD6) terminal to Splunk?

I have no experience with Splunk but I‘m seeing a few ways:

1) using SSH to the endpoint (if Splunk can connect through SSH), that needs to be set in a profile

2) having the device reporting the logfile to a Rsyslog Server: kb.igel.com/igelos-11.03.100/en/logging-24388483.html kb.igel.com/igelos-11.03.100/en/logging-24388483.html

3) using IMI: our RestAPI (might be a bit complex)

4) asking your Igel (Pre-)Sales rep. to check if there is a way to create a Custom Partition for you.


Thanks, @member. I’m under pressure to help make sure the SecOps team can get logs.


Hello @member are they looking for syslog information?


@member, they are looking to get audit information from the UMS and iGEL OS to Splunk. Keep in mind how many logging requirements are written – “all logs must be centrally managed blah blah blah”. Splunk is the central repository.

HI , the security operations team don’t want anything to do with third-part code they can’t support.
