log4j

This documentation does not apply to the most recent version of Splunk. Click here for the latest version.

log4j

The best way to index log4j files is to set up a standard log4j-syslog appender on your log4j host. Then configure the Splunk Server's properties to strip the syslog header prior to other processing, so Splunk doesn't think the logs are single-line syslog entries.


See the entry on stripping syslog headers for instructions on stripping the syslog headers.
