Spigot

A small utility to write synthetic logs to different destinations.

Currently supported log formats are:

• AWS vpcflow
• Common Log Format
• Cisco ASA
• Citrix CEF
• Fortinet Firewall
• Generic CEF
• Windows Event XML (winlog)

Currently supported destinations are:

• Local file
• AWS S3 bucket
• Syslog (TCP or UDP)
• Rally (ndjson to local file)

Command Line Flags

• -c Path to configuration. Default "./spigot.yml"
• -r Seed random number generator with current time. Default false.

Config file

A configuration file is required. The configuration file is a list of runner configurations. Runner configurations consist of:

• generator object. This contains the configuration for the generator. See godoc for each generator for config options.

• output object. This contains the configuration for the output. See godoc for each output for config options.

• records. An integer, which is the number of records to write each interval.

• interval (Optional) A golang duration. Which specifies the time between writing records. If omitted then the runner is executed once.

Example:

---
runners:
  - generator:
      type: "cisco:asa"
      include_timestamp: false
    output:
      type: file
      directory: "/var/tmp"
      pattern: "spigot_asa_*.log"
      delimiter: "\n"
    interval: 5s
    records: 250
  - generator:
      type: "fortinet:firewall"
      include_timestamp: false
    output:
      type: file
      directory: "/var/tmp"
      pattern: "spigot_fortinet_firewall_*.log"
      delimiter: "\n"
    interval: 10s
    records: 2048
