Kiwi Syslog not receiving SNMP Traps

September 10, 2015, 6:14 am

Hi all.

 

I have just installed Kiwi Syslog Server 9.5 on a test machine to evaluate its suitability for a project I'm working on. It's currently still running in 14-day Evaluation mode.

 

We can't seem to get it to receive SNMP traps at all. No matter what we do, netstat shows nothing listening on UDP port 162. SNMPv1 traps are being sent to the server, and we can see them in Wireshark arriving at the server, but Kiwi isn't listening for them.

 

In desparation, we tried enabling the Windows SNMP Trap service (although we understand this isn't required?) and this 'absorbed' the traps, but nothing appeared in Kiwi.

 

The test machine is running Windows 7 (32-bit) with the Windows Firewall switched off.

 

Should the 14-day Evaluation be able to receive SNMP traps?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I'm having trouble configuring email alerts. I'm trying to send alerts to my Office 365 email address. Can someone see if I've input one of these settings incorrectly? I'm using my full Office 365 email for each of the blacked out sections in the screen shot below. For "SMTP Password," I'm using my Office 365 password.

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,

Have the option to have Kiwi Syslog ZIP/Archive Logs

It would be a huge space saver if Kiwi Syslog had the ability to ZIP/Archive files when it rotated them as part of the "Log to file" option.

Kiwi Syslog Server Log Location won't change.

Hey all,

 

I have recently taken over a sys admin position, and am required to move the location of the Kiwi Syslog Server logs to another file location. I have never used it prior.  However, I can't seem to move the file.

 

Kiwi Syslog Server 9.2.1 (Free version.)

Windows Server 2003 SP2 (WORKGROUP)(VM)

 

Current configuration:

Log to Log File

Path and file name:  C:\Program Files\Syslogd\Logs\SyslogCatchAll.txt

 

If I test the configuration, I can see the test messages in the location noted about.  However, after I apply the settings, the older location (a CIFS share) continues to receive the actual syslogs of the devices we monitor.

 

There are three local users, all of which show the same configuration.

 

I have tried deleting and recreating the Log to Log File rule.  No change.

I have tried starting and stopping the service.  No change.

I have tried exporting the system settings, and then reimporting them.  No change.

I have tried searching the registery for the old location.  Nothing found.

 

I have two theories.

1.  The settings are locked for some reason.

2.  The settings are stored somewhere else.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks,

How to Split Log Files by IP Address and Date in Kiwi Syslog Server

SolarWinds's own Justin Finley just recorded a video tutorial that shows how to split logs into multiple files by IP address and date in Kiwi Syslog Server.  Specifically, this syslog server tutorial shows how to store logs in separate folders for each source IP address, and then shows how to keep separate log files for each day within those folders.  (e.g., "D:\logs\192.168.000.001\Log2012-07-13.txt")

 

 

External link to Jing: autosplit - justinfinley's library

 

Video Guide:

  • 0:00 Opening Kiwi Syslog's configuration dialog
  • 0:15 Using an "AutoSplit" variable of "IP Address (4 octets)" (%IPAdd4) in the log path to split logs by IP address
  • 0:40 Using an "AutoSplit" variable of "ISO Date" (%DateISO) in the log path to split logs by date

 

Remember to "LIKE" this if you find it useful - that helps other find it too!

Hi, I was hoping someone can explain the log files ('SolarWinds.SyslogServer.Engine.log') created in the Syslogd folder to me. What purpose do they serve? Are they safe to delete? Can I set them to be created in a different directory?

 

Thank you.

Hi All.  I'm trying to configure Kiwi Syslog Server (Licensed - Version 9.6).  When I go to File -> Setup -> Inputs I don't see the input field (at least as videos or images have depicted) to specify sources to listen for syslog messages from (see attachment).  Any suggestions.  Thanks.

Kiwi Syslog Service Keeps crashing

March 19, 2010, 11:05 am

We have been experiencing an issue with our Kiwi Syslog Service crashing about every other day.  We are running version 9 and have a pretty standard setup where we are pushing syslogs from all of our devices in our network.  We have quite a bit of stuff logging to our Syslog server and are easily breaching the 200000 maximum message count throughout the day and getting email's.  We up'ed that and seem to be doing better however the syslog service continues to fail and will at times restart itself based off of the services recovery failure to restart the service but this is happening way to often. 

Has anyone else seen this problem and if so, what kinds of things did you try/do?  Is this box just getting pegged so hard that it's causing the service to malfunction and trip up?  I'm not a Windows guy but is this issue even Windows related?  The only other application we have running on this server is CatTools and it runs clean with no service issues.  The systems team has taken a look at the server and believe this to be related only to the Kiwi application itself. 

Next Steps: I'm thinking of removing and rebuilding the Kiwi 9 application from scratch to see if this corrects the issue but wanted some direction from the forum if anyone has any good ideas/suggestions.

 

Thankyou in advance!

Hi,

 

I have recently been handed over Kiwi Syslog server to manage which has both Fat Client and Web Server. Fat Client is directly logged in however Web console could not be logged in. When I checked regarding the password of "Administrator", I have been informed that resource handling it has left long ago and there is no one to tell.

 

Is there a way we can reset the password of Administrator or create a new user from Syslog Fat Client. I cant raise the request with Support as we do not have active maintanence.

 

Thanks,

Syed

Log Forwarder for Windows default syslog facility ?

So I tried searching to see if this question was asked before but nothing came up. (at least in regards to this question)

I am installing this on our 2012R2 windows servers so  they can forward logs to kiwi.

for the default syslog facility setting, which should I pick if I want to forward say applications, security and system?

Whatever I think closely matches that?  The docs don't discuss this in any real detail other than to mention network devices (which I already knew) and unix.

Thanks in advance.

I currently have a Kiwi Syslog (9.3.4) on a Windows Server 2003 R2 (x64) and would like to know the following;

 

1. Can I install the current version (9.3.4) into a newly build Windows Server 2012 R2 machine? Is it compatible with Server 2012 R2?  If yes, can I move the database of the old Kiwi to the newly installed Kiwi Syslog server? If no;

2. Can I install the new version (9.5) into a newly build Windows Server 2012 R2 without buying a new license?

 

Thanks guys.

Kiwi Syslog not capturing syslogs

Installed Kiwi Syslog Free version 9.3.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2.  Trying to capture syslog from a Cisco ASA 5510.  I have confirmed that the syslog events are hitting the server with Wireshark.  Nothing is coming through to Kiwi Syslog.  Current settings are all default.  No filters in place.  Not sure what is wrong as I can see the syslog messages coming through Wireshark. Any ideas as to why the syslog messages are not being seen by Kiwi?
