UDP Multiline Syslog log source parameters for PostFix MTA
If QRadar does not automatically detect the log source, add a PostFix MTA log source on the QRadar Console by using the UDP Multiline Syslog protocol.
When using the UDP Multiline Syslog protocol, there are specific parameters that you must use.

---|---|
Log Source Identifier |
Type the IP address, host name, or name to identify your PostFix MTA installation. |

Enabled |
Select this check box to enable the log source. |
Credibility |
Select the credibility of the log source. The range is 0 - 10. The credibility indicates the integrity of an event or offense as determined by the credibility rating from the source devices. Credibility increases if multiple sources report the same event. The default is 5. |
Target Event Collector |
Select the Target Event Collector to use as the target for the log source. |
Coalescing Events |
Select this check box to enable the log source to coalesce (bundle) events. By default, automatically discovered log sources inherit the value of the Coalescing Events list from the System Settings in QRadar. When you create a log source or edit an existing configuration, you can override the default value by configuring this option for each log source. |
Store Event Payload |
Select this check box to enable the log source to store event payload information. By default, automatically discovered log sources inherit the value of the Store Event Payload list from the System Settings in QRadar. When you create a log source or edit an existing configuration, you can override the default value by configuring this option for each log source. |
