## Supported data types

### Solarwinds Orion Syslog logs

**Table name:** `solarwinds_orion_logs`

These are primarily system logs from Solarwinds Orion. Orion, being a comprehensive IT infrastructure monitoring and management platform, generates logs related to the performance, availability, and health of your network, servers, and applications. These logs include metrics and events that provide insights into what's happening across your IT environment, such as traffic flow, device status, system errors, and more.

## Send data to Hunters

Hunters supports the ingestion of Solarwinds Orion logs via an intermediary AWS S3 bucket.

**To connect Solarwinds Orion logs:**

1. Export your logs to a syslog stream, using [this guide](https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Create-syslog-rules-alerts?language=en_US#:~:text=Access%20the%20Syslog%20Viewer%20from,you%20want%20to%20alert%20on.). For newer version of Solarwinds, use the [Solarwinds Platform Log Viewer](https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/content/lm/la-orion-log-viewer.htm).
2. Ship the logs to an AWS S3 bucket.
3. Once the export is completed and the logs are collected to S3, follow the steps in [this section](https://hunters.document360.io/docs/connect-data-through-aws-s3).
