Cannot upgrade Syslog from Free to Trial Mode

$
0
0

I just installed Syslog 9.4 trial, and found there was no easy way to search the logs. Noticing this is more of the Web Access duties, I signed up for the trial. I received the new installer, and reinstalled Syslog Eval, bit Syslog continues to come up as Free, and it will not send to the Web Access. When I select the Rule, it says it's not only available in the licensed version.

 

I tried installing over the existing, uninstalling the free version, deleting the syslogd directory... nothing works.

 

I got burned with Splunk, and do not want to buy this until I confirm it's going to work for me. Any ideas?


Need Help Troubleshooting - Not Receiving/Displaying Messages

Server 2008 R2 Std

Kiwi Syslog Server 9.4.1

 

I have an older version of Kiwi installed on an old server that is being retired.  I've installed it on the new server, but I cannot get it to display anything.  I exported settings from the other server and imported on this one, then went to Inputs-UDP and set the correct IP to bind it to.

 

  • I've gone through ALL the steps at SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Kiwi Syslog Daemon is not receiving messages and Kiwi Syslog Server but had no luck getting it to work.
  • I know for a fact that messages are being received -- when I run WireShark with the filter, "udp port 514", I see PLENTY of traffic from my firewall.  Both my firewall and VPN device are sending syslog messages to the old server and the new one.  The old server is still working just fine.
  • Windows Firewall on the new server is completely disabled.
  • I loaded the default rules and settings but still had no luck.
  • I disabled all DNS resolution - no luck.
  • There is no Errorlog.txt in C:\Program Files (x86)\Syslogd.
  • Test messages from within Kiwi work just fine.
  • I finally uninstalled Kiwi, rebooted the server, then reinstalled, and have the same problem.

 

Kiwi is running as LocalService -- I wondered if that might be the problem, but that's how it's running on the old server as well.

 

I'm at a loss as to what to do now.  I tried contacting support, but since I'm using the free version I was directed here.

Kiwi Syslog not displaying Cisco ASA 5505 syslogs

$
0
0

I have a Cisco ASA 5505 that is setup to send syslogs to a remote syslog server.

I have kiwi syslog (free) installed on a Windows 2003 R2 Server and it is listening on UDP port 514. The syslog server also is my Ciscoworks v3.2 server.

I can ONLY see the Ciscoworks log files and not the ASA. I only want to display the ASA log files.

I have googled, read the user guide, and search the forum and cannot find any procedure that I can tweak Kiwi to log the syslog files from my ASA which is being used as a VPN concentrator.

Any ideas?

How to load-balance Kiwi Syslog servers

$
0
0

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!

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

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.

Kiwi Syslog Server Setup Window is Blank

$
0
0

The program was originally setup before I started working here. Recently I was asked to have some data emailed to the IT here, well I opened up the interface, and the Kiwi Syslog Server Setup window is blank, except for the menu items at the top and the buttons at the bottom right.

After some searching around on google, I figured out that the interface was missing a lot of stuff.

 

Besides the setup interface being blank, the server functions and is performing email tasks that were previously setup.

 

Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

Each file has a size of 1MB.

I tried deleting the cache folder but after sometime this file generation thing comes back again.

Pls advise how this can be solved? Thks in advance.


Log forwarder: possible to target subscription to specific syslog server

Just got Log Forwarder installed and working.  I want to create different subscriptions to forward to different syslog servers.  For example, subscription A should only forward to server A, and subscription B should only forward to server B.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  If not possible, is there a workaround?

 

Thanks

Changing the userid for Syslog Web Access

During installation of Syslog Web Access, you are prompted for a userid and password.  The password can be changed at any time easily.

But how does one change the userid?  Where is it stored?

We even went as far as trying to reinstall syslog web access to get to the initial userid prompt again.  But having already asked us once, it did not ask us again.

Thanks,

Sending events from Cisco 3750 switch

$
0
0

Hello,

I am trying to send events from a Cisco 3750 switch to our Kiwi syslog server but am unsure of the config for the switch.

Should the following work:

Switch (config) # logging on
Switch (config) # logging Syslog Server IP
Switch (config) # logging trap error

This command will send (Error 3) events (0-3) to the Kiwi server via UDP514. Is this the supported method of transfer?

Should this work or is there a "Supported" switch configuration that I should be using.

Thank you,

Chris

Procurve switches not sending syslog messages in KIWI syslog

$

Hi all,

 

New here, searched for discussions but found no entry on procurve switch(es).

The Procurve switches will not send any syslog messages (wiresharked the server)

Turned on logging on the switch: logging 'ip-address'

 

show debug

 

Debug Logging

  Source IP Selection: Outgoing Interface
  Destination:
   Logging --
     'ip-address' Kiwi Syslog server

       Protocol = UDP
       Port     = 514
     Facility = user
     Severity = info
     System Module = all-pass
     Priority Desc =

 

tried facility 'syslog' still nothing.

 

Only the Procurve switches will not send any syslog messages.

Other devices such as Cisco ASA's work fine.

 

Anyone ideas to solve this?

 

TIA Jaap
