When you send syslog to Logsene, we strongly recommend you do that by adding your Logsene App's token as part of your CEE-formatted JSON over syslog.
If this is not possible for some reason - for example, if you're using the traditional syslogd - then you can authorize your public IP (or IPs) and send logs to Logsene as if it's your local log collector. Authorizing an IP lets us determine to which Logsene app logs originating from some IP should be routed.
You can authorize IPs from the Logsene application's Settings within your Sematext account (click here to go to the list of your Logsene applications), or from the Logsene application itself.

Method 2: From the Logsene Application
You can also authorize IPs without leaving the Logsene application. To do that, click on the Inputs button on the upper-right side:
From the IPs authorized for... screen, you can start adding IPs:
