How can I send a log message through a custom program?

[thelinuxlich]

I'm trying to send a log message using Node.js by sending it through UDP(514), TCP(1470) and even a syslog library but nothing shows up on the SIEM dashboard. What am I doing wrong?

If you haven't got a parser defined then it probably won't appear on any dashboards.

You can do a raw log/keyword search from analytics. Search for a keyword you know for sure is in the logs.

Also validate that the syslog is being received at the network interface. As root user on the shell:\

tcpdump -i eth0 dst port 514 and host <192.168.77.99> change the IP to that of the server sending the logs.
