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

$
0
0

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.

I have Kiwi Syslog server v9.6.3.3 installed as a 14 day evaluation.  I successfully setup 3 servers to send event logs to the server using the SolarWinds Log Forwarder software.  I setup 2 additional servers using the same method and settings and none of the events appear in the Kiwi Syslog Server.  No errors appear on the client or server.  How can I troubleshoot this problem?

Forward Event Viewer subscriptions with Event Log Forwarder for Windows

$

Has anyone been able to forward subscribed events (from other machines) to Kiwi Syslog server using Event Log Forwarder for Windows? I am trying to setup a single point to collect events to be forwarded to our syslog server.

 

I setup a test and subscribed to events from another machine to be placed in the Windows Logs -> Application. I see the forwarded events in Windows Event Viewer, but when viewing the "preview of matching event records" (Event Log Forwarder for Windows) I only see the events sources from the computer running the event log forwarder. (see the attached screenshot)

 

Thanks!

When using an Events filter, I get the following return (see below).  My Kiwi Syslog is running on a virtual 2012 R2 standard (64bit). In an attempt to resolve the error, I have followed advice to increase the maximum size to 4MB but to no avail.  Any thoughts?

Kiwi Syslog + PFsense (parsing firewall log from 2 lines to 1 help)

$

PROBLEM - pfSense syslogs for firewall event is split into two lines when it is sent to Kiwi syslog app.

 

Is there a way to edit configuration or parsing script to parse the pfSense event as one similar to what the Splunk app can do see link http://www.basementpctech.com/content/pfsense-log-analysis-splunk

 

I understand that this is a PFsense tcpdump/issue, but I have already tried changing link http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/1938 without any luck, it just don't work, tried all combinations of changes without any luck.

 

Pfsense version = 2.0.1-RELEASE, (amd64) , built on Mon Dec 12 18:16:13 EST 2011 ,FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p6

 

I would really appreciate any help with this, as I have already exhasted searching for a working soloution using Kiwi Syslog, and the only thing holding me back from purchasing this application.

 

Appreciate any help on this..........

Kiwi Syslog Web Access Database Location

Hello,

  We are looking to find the Windows file/folder location for where the Kiwi Syslog Web Access is pulling its records from?

  We currently save events to the syslogd/logs location, as well as a SQL database.  But when we setup in the Kiwi Syslog Console Service Manager to send forwarded events to the 'Log to Kiwi Syslog Web Access', we cannot find where it stores those records?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi guys, my boss has asked me to consider moving our syslogging services to PRTG syslog. I am very happy with Kiwi Syslog and don't want to migrate.

I want to come up with a  list of reasons why this is not a good idea i.e. what things KiwiSyslog does better.
Can someone who is familiar with both of these packages assist me.

Thanks kindly for any help.

Which logs are important when finding intruders?

Hi!

If there would be an intruder due to a virus, a network attack or anything else. Which logs are important to forward to the Syslog Server, so we can see what they have done? For example, if they tried to install a program, to open a network port, disabled the firewall etc.

 

Thanks in advance!

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.

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,

Does Kiwi Syslog Server Support Receiving Syslog over TCP via RFC3195

$
0
0

We are currently trying to migrate all UDP senders of syslog to TCP.  Our fortigate security appliances only support the RFC 3195 standard for syslog over TCP.  syslog-ng does not support this and rsyslog says that they support RFC 3195, but it is not working.  Please, any assistance with this request would be appreciated.  Running syslog with UDP is no longer an option.

 

Thanks in advance.
