Configure your Juniper device to send data to the Splunk Add-on for Juniper

Although Juniper supports both syslog and key-value output, the Splunk Add-on for Juniper only supports syslog.

Enable the Splunk Add-on for Juniper to collect data by configuring your Juniper devices to produce syslog output. Set the output format to default or splunk and push the output to the data collection node or universal forwarder of your Splunk deployment.

Search the name of the Juniper product that you are using at https://www.juniper.net/us/en/ for its specific syslog configuration instructions.

Next, see Configure inputs for the Splunk Add-on for Juniper to enable your data collection node to receive data on the port that matches your Juniper device configuration file.
