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,
I can't seem to get the Solarwind Event Log Forwarder to send any information to our Kiwi Syslog. This is a new setup on a closed system with no access to the Internet. The machines are running Windows 10 v1703 and Server 2012 R2.
Is there a way to collect access logs from a local machine and other machines regarding administrative access and generate a report for GDPR?
We are using windows Server 2012 Standard version for Windows log forwarder but logs are not coming on Kiwi Syslog Server 9.6
Hopefully this makes sense. Barracuda has published a script in Perl that demonstrates how to parse the log. The items in the message field are separated by spaces. Barracuda shows the following in their script (the message field has been placed in the $info variable earlier in their scrip):
if( $info =~ /([^\s]+)\s([^\s]+)\s([^\s]+)\s([-\.\d+]+)\s(\d+)\s(\d+)\s(.*)\sSUBJ:(.*)$/ )
{
($enc, $sender, $recip, $score, $action, $reason, $reason_extra, $subject) =
($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8);
}
What I would like to do is place these in the Custom variable 1-8. Going through the kiwi example that comes with the syslog server, that part seems relatively easy.
I am brand new to Perl and trying to get this accomplished in the Evaluation window of the Kiwi server to show proof of concept. Is Perl the best way to separate the message based on spaces? Is there a better way to do this? Or does someone have an example of how to do this in Perl or any other language that kiwi supports?
Cheers

Dear All,
I want to create filter in syslog server to view the windows logon and logoff (event logs).
Please help me to create the filter.
Currently Kiwi Syslog Server 9.x release supports syslog based on RFC 3164. Are there any plans to add support for RFC 5424 in a future release?
Thank you,
David
Hi guys,
I recently installed Kiwi Syslog on a Windows Server 2008 machine, however I had to uninstalled the program as the customer wants to be on the D:\ . But now I am not able to install the program on D:\ or even back
on C:\ as I get the error message "an unlicensed version is detected" hence the installation cannot proceed any longer.
Can anyone help? Where can I delete the old files so i am able to install the software again? I need to install this quite urgently, I have the license with me but I did not activate the license in my previous installation since it was not installed on the right drive.
Please help.
Thanks.
Hello guys,
I setup kiwi syslog server and could receive message from other devices, such cisco switch 2960, 5510, and windows server. But can not get any message from 3750. I enclosed 3750 configuration as below. Please help to take a look and where am I wrong. Thank you.

Hello,
I just installed Syslog on a Windows 8 VM (ESXi 5.5).
However... I don't received any message from the router (Cisco RV042G) I want to log.
I tried the generic troubleshhoting :
• Check network connectivity by pinging from the sending device to the Syslog Server machine => OK
• Check only one instance of Kiwi Syslog Server is running (Ctrl-Shift-Esc to get the task-list) => OK, only one
• Disable any personal firewall software such as ZoneAlarm or BlackIce => Disabled
• Use a sniffer to check if messages from the routing are reaching the PC => Yes, I can see them
• Check DNS resolution is working as expected by pinging a hostname from the Command Prompt => OK
• Check that there is a "Display" action setup for the facility and level you are expecting to receive messages on. => OK
• Send a test message to yourself by pressing Ctrl+T => Displayed
• Download a copy of the Free Syslog Server Message Generator (SyslogGen) from: www.kiwisyslog.com/downloads => Done
• Install SyslogGen and set it to send a message every second to the address 127.0.0.1 (local host). => Not displayed, and I don't see them in a local packet capture.
• Try sending messages with SyslogGen from another machine to the host running the Syslog Server => Not displayed, but see them on a packet capture (on Syslog PC)
Do you have any idea about the cause of this issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I've got a set of 3 Kiwi servers sitting behind an F5, which I *thought* would effectively load balance the incoming syslog volume (I'm seeing around 5-8million messages per hour, and we haven't really turned everything on yet).
The problem, I just discovered, is that F5 load balances based on connections, not messages/packets. So round robin isn't round robin since most of my sending systems are passing new messages (and therefore creating a connection) more than even the lowest "disconnect after" option on the F5 (which is 1 second).
So my first server is maxing out at about 5million MPH and 0% buffer, while server 02 gets 2million messages and 80% buffer, and server 03 gets barely anything at all.
Has anyone else tried this, and have you found a work around (it doesn't have to be an F5. I just need the ability to create a pool of Kiwi servers and have all the systems in my enterprise sending to ONE ip address.
Thanks!

How can we design Kiwi syslog server in High availability , Does it required cluster setup (or) Load balancer setting, or any in built product HA capabilities available
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?
I tried to install v9.6.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I had already installed ".NET Framework 3.5 SP1" on this system.
When I executed v9.6.1 installer, I got the following message.
----------------------
Kiwi Syslog Server 9.6.1 Installer
Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 is not installed on this system
[OK]
----------------------
I can not install v9.6.1.
I got the same message, when I tried to install v9.6.0.
SolarWinds discribed the System Requirements as below:
NET Framework: .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/kiwi-syslog-server
http://www.solarwinds.com/ja/kiwi-syslog-server#requirements
Question:
Do Kiwi Syslog Server v9.6.0/9.6.1 need ".NET Framework 4.0" or Higher?
Best Regards,
Dear Thwack experts,
Our WAN is spread across 500 sites, connected via 5 Datacenters, Most are VPN connections btw Sites and DC's ,but few still have slow paced connections.
For NPM, We are planning to build our HA solution across DC1 and DC2, and will use APE at DC3,DC4 & Dc5, So that each polling engine can poll the devices at connected remote site.
Now speaking about Syslog monitoring Requirement, We felt Log manager for Orion has lot more feature , But may not fit into our environment.
Discussion points:
-In our case, Device at remote site, need to send syslog message to the centralized solution
1)Kiwi have below solution:
Kiwi Secure Tunnel receives, compresses, and securely transports, syslog messages from distributed network devices to the Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
Does Log manager for Orion can be used here.??
2) Kiwi also store the syslog and trap messages into Microsoft® SQL Server , Apart from Log tagging, how different can Log manager can help to our operations team,, any comparison between KIWI and LM would be more helpful
( please correct me, if I am wrong some where)

Hello.
I've installed the free version of Kiwi Syslog (I'm a long-time user of CatTools), and am unable to find a setup preference which tells Kiwi how long to retain syslog messages. I don't have unlimited drive space, and only want to keep certain messages for a limited period.
More specifically, need to keep the NAT translation messages from my firewall, so I can track down inappropriate use by students. These messages come at a rate of over 20,000/hr. I only want to keep them for a week.
Thanks
Hello,
I am in a situation where I need to filter out a certain string. It is a little complicated however. The string(s) I am trying to filter out usually looks like this:
"port D10-High collision or drop rate."
D10 is a device bay in a chassis and that is what we are really interested in here. There are 16 device bays so it can be D1, D2, D3....D16.
The only problem is that there is no space between D10 and "-High"
And we WOULD like to keep getting messaged that dont have the Dx part in it so we cant just filter out "collision or drop rate."
Is the only way to do this by putting 16 separate filters like so: ...?
"D1-High"
"D2-High"
"D3-High"
...."D16-High"
or is there a wildcard we can put in place of the number? Catch is that sometimes it could be a single digit (1-9) or it could be a double digit (10-16).
You input is appreciated. Thank you.
