I would like to get Suricata alerts sent to Splunk. I have been sending the alerts via syslog to a remote syslog server via barnyard2. This works for awhile but bombs out on me.

I already have a Splunk forwarder on the box collecting bro logs and would like to pick up the suricata alerts this way but I can not seem to find them.

barnyard2.conf has:"output alert_syslog: LOG_LOCAL6 LOG_ALERT" but I do not have local6 in /var/logs/

Is there additional config changes I need to make?

Assuming Splunk does a nice job at consuming/parsing JSON logs, you might also want to consider using Suricata's Eve JSON output feature.
