How is the data sent to Devo?

You can forward logs generated by Bluecat using any Syslog drain (for example, Syslog-ng). Learn more about how to send Bluecat logs and their structure here.

Log samples

The following are sample logs sent to each of the dns.bluecat data tables. In addition, find how the information will be parsed in your data table under the sample log.

Note
titleExtra columns

Fields marked as Extra in the table below are not shown by default in data tables and need to be explicitly requested in the query. You can find them marked as Extra when you perform a query so they can be easily identified. Learn more about this in Selecting unrevealed columns.
