Hi Jason,
I am getting this error when I run the script and I did the pip installs.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\py\HelloWorld\syslog_test.py", line 7, in

import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

bigrest v1.7.3
Python 3.10.1

pip install requests and then you should be good to go. The bigrest module isn't handling dependencies properly, I'll talk to the author about that.
