Define logging patterns as key-value pairs in Logging Profile elements
When you define key-value pairs for converting syslog data, the Log Server parses each received syslog entry data based on the defined key-value pairs.
The data in the incoming syslog message must be formatted as key-value pairs.
You can use sections in the Logging Profile to organize the logging patterns. To create categories, you can associate one or several Log Data Tags with each section. The Log Data Tags improve the way log entries can be viewed and stored. However, they do not affect the way third-party log entries are converted into SMC log entries. If you do not select specific Log Data Tags for a section, only default “Third Party” and “Log Data” Log Data Tags are shown for matching log entries.
