My syslog server archives the data into text files. How do I create reports from or view that data without using a text editor? Can I open the archived syslog data using the Syslog Web Access?
How can I view or report on old syslog data?
Maximum number of TCP connections has been reached. Not accepting connection.
KiWi Syslogd error: Maximum number of TCP connections has been reached. Not accepting connection.
Why? Thanks..

[Log to file Action Error] Merging 2 or more hostnames in one file
Hello folks.
My Kiwi Syslog is merging 2 or more hostnames (devices) in the same file when: "Log to file Action".
For example, i have 3 devices:
- 10.168.1.20
- 10.168.1.201
- 10.168.1.202
In the root folder of files, i had 3 folders, one for each hostname.
The 10.168.1.201 and 10.168.1.202 are logging correctly. But when i should have the 10.168.1.20 logs, i have a merge of 10.168.1.201 and 10.168.202 (without the 10.168.1.20).
I check another scenario (that i consider worse)...
I had a file log from 10.120.1.2. But this device don't exist.
IN this file, are logged 6 devices: 10.120.1.20, 10.120.1.25, 10.120.1.26, 10.120.1.27, 10.120.1.28 and 10.120.1.29.
The logs below, are in same file:

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.

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.

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 Syslog not receiving any message
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.
Simple Filtering Not Working
I trying to create a new rules of filter the of the Cisco Event IDs (eg. 106021, 710003, 302014, 302016) but it doesn't work. The weird part there is that, I have filter that is working fine however, when I trying to add new event IDs it didn't work as well. I already stop and start the Kiwi Syslog Server service and restart the Server itself but still it doesn't work. Could someone help me on this? I'm using Kiwi Syslog Server 9.5.0.332
Thanks in advance.

LOG FORWARDER 2012 server DOES NOT FORWARD EVENTS
We are using windows Server 2012 Standard version for Windows log forwarder but logs are not coming on Kiwi Syslog Server 9.6
Kiwi Syslog "Check for update..." error
We are new to Kiwi Syslog and are just getting things configured. We are on version 9.6.1.6. One thing I immediately noticed is that running the "Check for update..." results in the following error: "An error occurred while checking for available software updates. Check internet connectivity or proxy server settings.".
We have no proxy server enabled. From the server with Kiwi Syslog, I have Internet connectivity via a browser with no problems.
From Kiwi's error log, I see the following line associated with the failed update: "Info: An error occurred while checking for available software updates. Moved Temporarily [20152] - Resource: http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/Kiwi/Syslog/currentkiwisyslogversion.xml". If I paste that URL into a browser, it returns the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<KiwiSyslogServerVersionManifest Version="1">
<CurrentVersion Version="9.6.1" Link="http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/Kiwi/Syslog/Kiwi-Syslog-Server-9.6.1.zip" DateReleased="2017-05-01"> New in 9.6.1 update ------------------------------ * Kiwi Syslog Server no longer creates large SolarWinds.SyslogServer.Engine.log fileswhich consume significant disk space. * Kiwi Syslog Server diagnostic information shows the correct buffer usage for all types of messages * If you do not see a "Download Update" button below, copy and paste the following link into your browser to download: http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/Kiwi/Syslog/Kiwi-Syslog-Server-9.6.1.zip</CurrentVersion>
</KiwiSyslogServerVersionManifest>
I can then paste the .zip link it references into a browser and get the zip file to download (although it appears to be the same version we already have).
Has anyone experienced the same issue or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
