Generic File Reader

[RSAAdmin]

I am sucessfully reading log using the Generic File Reader.  I would like to create another file reader using the name to match the uds for these logs.  I've played with a few different variations but they never seem to work. 

What are the parameters of the Generic File Reader definition? (it cannot be viewed from the GUI)

I am in the process of seeking an "official" answer to this, but repeated testing with a few different files has me leaning toward the following settings:

Name:                generic

Tag:                 GENERIC_FILERADER

Data Start Line:     1

Message ID Location: <null>

Field Delimter:      SP

Line Delimiter:      CR  LF

You should be safe assuming those are what lies underneath.

One other point to note:  Although, I said it was "SP", it really doesn't matter what the field delimiter is because it is only used in cases where the Message ID Location is not <null>.

I am trying to make Linux syslog work through a file reader. Does anyone know how to make it work?

The parameters for generic FileReader are set to:

Name: generic

Tag: GENERIC_FILEREADER

Data Start Line: 1

Message ID Location: NULL

Field Delimter: NULL

Line Delimiter: LF
