Kiwi Syslog Server Log Questions.

$

0

Hi Guys,

I am totally new with Kiwi Syslog software and I've been assigned to assist with the installation of the software on a Windows Environment on our customer site. However I need some answers to these questions below. I can't seem to find them online. 

Appreciate the help given.

1. What is the maximum event per second that syslog server can handle ?
2. What is the maximum size for the database to keep the log ? Can it use enterprise database such as mssql ?


TCP Syslog Does Not Work in Latest Version

$

0

I use kiwi syslog server a lot for testing syslog.  It seems like in the latest version there are issues with TCP.  I'm verifying with the Kiwi Syslog Message Generator.  Seems like with syslog server version 9.4.1 TCP connects and works, but in latest version 9.6.3 it does not connect for some reason. When I try to connect TCP with message generator it says "TCP session remotely disconnected" using the same tool the same exact way, it works with version 9.4.1. I'm using the syslog message generator tool on the same machine as the syslog server.  Is this a known issue, or am I missing something?  Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.  Thank you very much.

Administrator Password Missed; Other way to login

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

Hi all,

 

Can anyone point me in the direction some documentation on how to change the default Kiwi Syslog web port from 8088 to something else? Say 80?

 

I had a 'quick' search and couldn't find anything solid to go off.

 

Thanks!

Kiwi Syslog Service hanging

1st time starting a discussion.

1st time working with Kiwi Syslog.

Let me know if I'm in the wrong place.

 

I am very new to Syslog Servers.

I'm a Route/Switch type guy.

 

We are using Kiwi Syslog to get Call Manager Call Traces for troubleshooting.

This Instance of Kiwi Syslog was working fine as a Guest VMware Server on a Host Server.

We used the app Veeam to move the Kiwi Syslog VMware Guest Server to another Host.

This issue started after the copy/move of the Kiwi Syslog

 

No IP addresses were changed, it's on the same network as before.

It starts up, logs are being received, and then they stop.

If you try to start the service, it tells you it's already running.

 

At the bottom of the Kiwi Syslog Service Manager, you can see the MPH indicator has stopped.

Looking at the correct folder I can see the logs are no longer being  received.

If I stop the service and start the service it starts.

There is a script that tells it to restart every morning at 4am, and it will do this.

 

Below is the error event seen when it stopped last time.

 

Windows Server 2012 R2

64 -bit OS

 

Has anyone seen this type of issue before?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

9.5 Stat. about SNMP TRAP forward action ?

Hi

 

I think that forward stat.  action is is counting syslog  only and  not SNMP TRAP

Will be nice to have counters about that action as well.

Forward syslog events to QRadar

$

I'm trying to forward events from Kiwi Syslog to QRadar SIEM. 

 

In Kiwi Syslog setup, I created an Action: Forward to another host; gave it the QRadar appliance's IP as the Destination IP; selected "Retain the original source address of the message"; clicked the Test button to verify the configuration and got a gree checkmark.

 

The test event was the only event received by the QRadar.  None of the events I'm forwarding have been received as incoming logs on QRadar.

 

I've tried this with and without adding the Kiwi Syslog servers as log sources in QRadar.

 

Do I need to install a universal DSM on the Kiwi Syslog servers?

Kiwi 9.6 and forwarding SNMP traps as Syslogs

$

0

9.6 release notes....

 

"SNMP traps are now forwarded without changes. In previous versions, the SNMP trap was converted to a string and forwarded as a syslog messages, which could result in MAC addresses being displayed incorrectly."

 

I considered this conversion a feature, one that I need to pipe data into a system that can't receive traps.  Is this a setting in which I can choose how it gets forwarded (snmp/syslog)?  This conversion feature was a deciding factor in my Kiwi purchase last week. 

 

Thank you.

SSL support for Kiwi Syslog server

Hi All,

 

Few months back we bought Kiwi Syslog Server license version because of the SSL feature only. I enabled the option Secured TCP option. But unfortunately it is unable to bind the port itself.

It says "invalid certificate provided". We use the same SSL certificate for other products with no issues. If use the same port for TCP or UDP only then it is working fine. I could not find what is the exact issue.

I contacted the SolarWinds customer portal few months back. They are not able tell what is exactly going on. Can you some one help me in fixing the problem?
