SPL2 templates and modules for Unix and Linux logs

SPL2 content for Unix and Linux currently includes two artifact types:

  • Size-reduction templates, which are end-to-end SPL2 pipelines for reducing log volume.
  • Field-extraction modules, which are reusable SPL2 functions generated from add-on knowledge objects such as props.conf and transforms.conf.

The size-reduction templates are available for the Edge Processor and Ingest Processor. See the following documentation for more information:

Templates

Noise reduction

Template name Version Use case Availability
UNIX and Linux bandwidth logs: Reduce log size and convert to TSV format 0.2.1 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux bandwidth logs by removing unnecessary fields and converting logs into a tab-separated values (TSV) format while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor
UNIX and Linux cpu logs: Reduce log size and convert to TSV format 0.4.2 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux cpu logs by removing unnecessary fields and converting logs into a tab-separated values (TSV) format while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor
UNIX and Linux df logs: Reduce log size and convert to TSV format 0.4.1 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux df logs by removing unnecessary fields and optimizing log storage while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor
UNIX and Linux hardware logs: Reduce log size and convert to tab-separated key-value pair format 0.4.1 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux hardware logs by removing unnecessary fields and optimizing log storage while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor

UNIX and Linux ps logs: Reduce log size and convert to TSV format 0.4.2 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux ps logs by removing unnecessary fields and optimizing log storage while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor
UNIX and Linux top logs: Reduce log size and convert to TSV format 0.4.2 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux top logs by removing unnecessary fields and optimizing log storage while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor
UNIX and Linux vmstat logs: Reduce log size and convert to tab-separated key-value pair format 0.3.1 Reduce the size of Unix and Linux vmstat logs by removing unnecessary fields and optimizing log storage while maintaining compatibility with the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM). Edge Processor and Ingest Processor

Release notes for the templates are available in the documentation.
