Syslog Aggregator Setup

  1. Review the logic in the rules files referenced in the configuration to see the processing that will be done when syslogs are received:

    • LoadRules will be executed during application startup to load data that might be needed during processing.

    • IncludeRules will be read during application startup to load additional files that might be called during processing.

    • BaseRules will be executed for each device that is selected based on the configuration.

    Update the logic as needed.

  2. Enable the default Service, unless a specific configuration option is needed.
