Hi @lakshman237, I've begun working on this issue. I've read both the Splunk add-on source config files and its documentation, as well as the vendor documentation.

What's still unclear to me is the precise format of Squid logs as received by SC4S. I need to verify if it adheres to RFC5424 and how it manages the Squid appliance's hostname.

Please provide us with a PCAP file containing Squid Proxy events collected from the machine running SC4S.

Thx Again. Let me work with the client to get this for you via TCP dump. If you want us to use specific flags in tcpdump pls advise.

Hi @lakshman237 do you have any updates?

Thx again for your continued help.

The customer has now moved to write to a file which we are now reading via UF.

So we are going with SC4S
