ISC dhcpd
ISC dhcpd is a program that helps to provide dynamic IP addresses in a network.
Before You Begin
ISC dhdcp can produce syslog. You must configure this service to send its logs to the InsightIDR Collector via rsyslog; read about how to do so on the Syslog Logging page.
If you use Splunk to collect and aggregate these logs, see the documentation to do so here: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/ISCDHCP/Setup.
Expected Log Format
InsightIDR expects the following format when parsing the syslog:
java
