What the RFC?! Making sense of syslog before you migrate
Syslog: it's everywhere, it’s ancient, and let’s be honest — it rarely shows up the way the RFC says it should. Before you cut over to Cribl Stream, it pays to understand exactly what you're dealing with and why it matters. In this talk, we’ll demystify the syslog format (yes, the actual RFC 3164 and 5424 stuff), look at what happens when data goes rogue, and explore how Cribl can help bring order to the chaos.
