Trying to import Cisco Log files

Grafana Alloy
1

I’m attempting to use Grafana/Loki/Alloy to import Cisco logs into my Grafana dashboards. When allow received a message I get this error:

level=warn msg=“error parsing syslog stream” component_path=/ component_id=loki.source.syslog.cisco err=“expecting a version value in the range 1-999 [col 8]”

Does anyone have the steps needed to import standard cisco syslog format messages into the system?

Thanks

Alloy v1.13.0 has some documentation and an experimental feature to support this. Know that depending on the type of device, enabling certain pieces on the Cisco device may format the logs in a way that even alloy can’t parse appropriately. Try enabling and disabling different pieces from the documentation on the config.alloy and the device to see what works.
