Kiwi syslog 9.4 on windows server 2012 64bit Service crash - Possible bug!

$

Hello , kiwi friends!

 

I am trying to get Kiwi syslog 9.4 to work on windows server 2012 64bit but having problems with the service crashing then i try to start the kiwi syslog server console.

I have applied the kb fix for Microsoft .Net Framework 2 , before that i couldnt install kiwi syslog successfully becuse the service could not start.

http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/4386/

 

 

I have the following errors in the windows event viewer!

Error 7000: The Kiwi Syslog Server service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

Error 7009 : A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Kiwi Syslog Server service to connect.

 

Do you have a solution for this or could it be a new bug in windows server 2012 and the old dot net framework combined ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi all !

past weekend we were unable to login to to Kiwi Syslog webaccess as a result of the follow error message:

" Session initialization error
An error occurred while initializing this session.
The session has been abandoned.

Event database initialization failure.
The database file may be corrupted. Run the repair utility to check the database file. [ Database name = C:\Programme\SolarWinds\Kiwi Syslog Web Access\html\App_Data\Event.sdf ] "

I have taken a look at the errorlog of Kiwi and noticed that there are three messages regarding this error:

2010-11-15 11:51:35 SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data error: General exception. System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException: External component has thrown an exception. at System.Data.SqlServerCe.NativeMethods.ExecuteQueryPlan(IntPtr pTx, IntPtr pQpServices, IntPtr pQpCommand, IntPtr pQpPlan, IntPtr prgBinding, Int32 cDbBinding, IntPtr pData, Int32& recordsAffected, ResultSetOptions& cursorCapabilities, IntPtr& pSeCursor, Int32& fIsBaseTableCursor, IntPtr pError) at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.ExecuteCommandText(IntPtr& pCursor, Boolean& isBaseTableCursor) at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.ExecuteCommand(CommandBehavior behavior, String method, ResultSetOptions options) at System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data.Logger.KiwiSyslogEventUpdate(Object state)

I start/stopped the webserver service without any success on saturday.
This morning i tried to access the page again and I got correctly redirected to http://10.x.x.x:8088/gateway.aspx.
At the moment the login is possible but I'm concerned that my database file may be corrupted!

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance!

Why, when I send to Kiwi Syslog Server a message like "<25>Jul 10 18.04.33 Hostname Appname Message", it only understand the priority, but the timestamp and hostname has ignored and the log look like "2015-07-10 18:04:33 127.0.0.1 Daemon.Alert Jul 10 18.04.33 Hostname Appname Message"

Kiwi Syslog Web Access failed the database maintenance.

- Eventlog.txt:

=======================

STATUS: SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data: SQLCE database maintenance started @2011/02/16 14:36:30
SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data error: Unable to perform maintenance procedure.  System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeError: The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size.

=======================

Then, I would like to delete the old events by SQL Server Management Studio.

But I can not connect to the Event.sdf database because I don't know the password.

What is the password to connect to the Event.sdf?

Hi all,

 

New here, searched for discussions but found no entry on procurve switch(es).

The Procurve switches will not send any syslog messages (wiresharked the server)

Turned on logging on the switch: logging 'ip-address'

 

show debug

 

Debug Logging

  Source IP Selection: Outgoing Interface
  Destination:
   Logging --
     'ip-address' Kiwi Syslog server

       Protocol = UDP
       Port     = 514
     Facility = user
     Severity = info
     System Module = all-pass
     Priority Desc =

 

tried facility 'syslog' still nothing.

 

Only the Procurve switches will not send any syslog messages.

Other devices such as Cisco ASA's work fine.

 

Anyone ideas to solve this?

 

TIA Jaap

sys log server errors "FormatMessage failed with 1815" help please!!

Good day Community,

 

I am experiencing an urgent issue. The sys log server forwarder is forwarding the following message to the KIWI sys log server. The actual security logs are showing the correct information, however the message below is being showed. I thought it was the server, but wen I added another sever to forward security logs, I am getting the same message as shown below.

 

Can anyone who have encountered this message or know how to resolve this issue. The security logs are on the server and I can view them using event viewer properly and audit logs are reflecting fine.

 

I would really appreciate your humble assistance or comments.

Hi all,

 

I am currently using kiwi syslog 9.1 in win2008 which i have been using for a few months.

Since yesterday i can see that for every minute a file name "192.168.x.x-515-connectionxxxx.bin" is generated under C:\program files (x86)\syslogd \cache

Each file has a size of 1MB.

I tried deleting the cache folder but after sometime this file generation thing comes back again.

Pls advise how this can be solved? Thks in advance.

Event Log Forwarder - Where is the Audit Failure Type?

$

Hi There,

 

I'm trialing Kiwi Syslog and I'm having trouble with the Log Forwarder and Security Event Log.  When I click on the Security Log I don't see Audit Success or Audit Failure as an event type.  It just has Error, Warning and Information.  If I manually edit the CFG file and add <int>16</int> it works, but then it gets overwritten if I make a change.  Am I doing something wrong?  How can I see Audit Failure as an Event Type?

 

Thanks,

Choosing all logs automatically

$

Is it possible to configure a config file to do all event logs.  By that I mean without implicitly ticking the all box and it then selecting all the logs.

 

I'd like to be able to roll out a config saying "all logs" rather than create a file on one server and it miss logs on another server because the config file just has a list of logs from the original server.

 

It might be possible but I can't see how to do it.

 

Thanks.

Changing the userid for Syslog Web Access

During installation of Syslog Web Access, you are prompted for a userid and password.  The password can be changed at any time easily.

But how does one change the userid?  Where is it stored?

We even went as far as trying to reinstall syslog web access to get to the initial userid prompt again.  But having already asked us once, it did not ask us again.

Thanks,
