eg. I have many logs forwarded to the syslog server. I intend to install a universal forwarder on that syslog server to forward to splunk. However once forwarded to Splunk, what will be the sourcetype? Can my checkpoint server logs be recognized as sourcetype=cp_log in Splunk or is it syslog? I tried just uploading the log file in splunk with sourcetype=cp_log, it does not recognize the format. Log entry format is as follows: Checkpoint xxxx -[action:" xx",flags:"xxx", ifdir:"xx",etc ]
