I have a licensed version of Kiwi 9.6 installed on a Windows 2016 Server. I was specifically hoping to use the "Spoof Network Packet" feature to forward packets to a downstream server. The help file says the server needs to be licensed (Done!) and that WinPcap must be installed. The problem is, WinPcap is deprecated for some time now, and not compatible (or at least not suggested) with Windows 2016. I use Npcap, which is the recommended way to go for W2016. I have even installed Npcap with WinPcap compatibility (a requirement of Wireshark) and that works correctly (with Wireshark). Unfortunately, with regards to the Kiwi server, something is still missing. The tick box is now available, but I cannot select a network adapter. Saving this config as is results in no data being sent.
Spoof Network Packet - Using Npcap isntead of Winpcap
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..
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,

KIWI syslog service manager vs. syslog webaccess
Hello group!
Is there a difference between what we see in the KIWI Syslog Service Manager and what we see in the KIWI Syslog Web Access? We currently have one of our appliances sending SNMP traps to KIWI, however I am trying to run a script that is looking for a particular attribute in the SNMP trap which is cldcClientIPAddress.0
What is strange is, I see this information in the KIWI Syslog Web Access monitor but I do not see it in the KIWI Syslog Service Manager. I have gone through all of the options within the service manager and cannot figure this one out.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Kiwi syslog migration
We have upgraded our kiwi syslog server to a new server with a new version of the OS.
I need to migrate the settings of the previous server to the new server, but I am unable to find a migration tool or guide on how to migrate the settings.
I dont need to migrate the files (logs) only the settings.
Can anyone help or advise, or point me to a guide?
Does Kiwi Syslog Server Support Receiving Syslog over TCP via RFC3195
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.
Web Access not showing current logs
i have web access enabled, and it is showing logs, just not the current logs.
E:\Program Files\Syslogd\Logs\ is showing txt files for the current date, but what is being displayed in the web console is the oldest file
The service manager is showing live data being captured
how can i get the web access to also show the live data being captured?
kiwi syslog service crashes
I successfully installed Kiwi Syslog server (latest version) and successfully received 18.8 million logs in 5 – 6 hours and after that the application crashes and every time I re-start the service it keeps crashing. I too would like to know if this issue has been resolvable? and if so how was it done. We are required to log these messages because of audit regulations and we have multiple firewalls logging to this one server. If Kiwi cannot keep up kindly let us know or suggest any other option.

Syslog stops logging with no notification
I discovered this morning (only because I didn't receive the nightly report) that two of our Syslog servers stopped logging yesterday afternoon. The nightly archiving and cleanup jobs did not run. The service did not crash. The drive has 63 GB of free space. There are no entries under the Application or System logs in Windows. Under the Errorlog I see this for all of the reporting nodes ("ip.address.#" is placeholder for the actual values in the logs):

Forwarding SharePoint logs to Kiwi Syslog Server
I am using SolarWinds Event Log Forwarder to forward mainly security and application logs from different server to a Kiwi Syslog Server (v9.5)
Management flagged out to me that one of the server which stored Microsoft SharePoint logs is full and discuss on forwarding SharePoint logs to the Syslog Server.
I am not getting much success using the Event Log Forwarder as the logs forwarded are unrelated so I suspect that the configuration needs to be done on the SharePoint itself to forward the logs. I have no experience with SharePoint
Anybody with experience with SharePoint that is able to help me on how to forward logs to the Syslog Server will be greatly appreciated.
Kiwi Syslog Manager 9.6.6.1 is failing to open
Hello Team,

When is Kiwi Syslog v10 coming out?
As you all may recall, it's been 7 months since Kiwi Syslog v9.5 was posted (see Kiwi Syslog 9.5 is now Available! ). I am very much looking forward to a major release (i.e. v10). What would this new version contain? I have a few things in my wish-list...
- Increased the of number of syslog messages and snmp traps that can Kiwi can handle. According to a posting on Geek Speak (How many messages can Kiwi Syslog manage?), Kiwi can handle between 400 and 600 messages per second. I'd like to see that go all the way up to 2,000 messages (or more).
- Rules Wizard (for the novice and those of us with diminished brain-cells due to age.
- Full web-based management option. I don't know about other Thwackers, but I prefer not to use Win32 (via RDP) whenever possible.
- Additional Polling Engine option for Kiwi. This, so we can have multiple servers handle syslog messages and snmp traps.
I am sure that other Thwackers have many other items in their respective wish-list for Kiwi. I'd like to hear from you. And, of course, I'd like to hear from the Kiwi PM, to tell us what's in the Roadmap for the next Kiwi release. Have a great day, everyone!!!
How to create Service Now Ticket using Kiwi Syslog Server or LEM ?
Hi,
We are looking into installing Kiwi Syslog Server or LEM for our log monitoring needs.
Currently comparing Kiwi Syslog Server and LEM and trying to find if one or both of them has feature that helps us to create service now ticket when we receive certain logs. We'd appreciate any information on this.

Kiwi Syslog Web Access Problem
Hello,
I've got a registered version of Kiwi Syslog Server.
I've got the "Log To Syslog Web Access" Filters set up.
But I don't have any log in the web access.
The only little clue I have is when I do a Syslog_Diagnostics I've got this :
SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data
====================================
Component not started.
And this error :
2010-06-01 20:26:46 SolarWinds.KiwiSyslog.WebAccess.Data error: Unable to start component, SQL exception. System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeError: The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only. [ Required Max Database Size (in MB; 0 if unknown) = 0 ]
Any Ideas ?
Kiwi not forwarding to Solarwinds server
I have configured kiwi to forward certain syslog messages to our SW server, but they never arrive. If I select the test option, this arrives on the SW server, so I know the rule is working. I can only assume it is the filter, but Ive tried all combinations in an attempt to forward a message, but never see any. Rather than trying to select a specific meagre, how could I forward all syslog messages to SW?
kiwi syslog filter brocken:Only filters Priority field NO others
hello
the filter display mechanism is broken. the tool ONLY filters on the priority field , all other fields are ignored
running V 9.4.1
this is the NON web view
even though filters are screening the message area, the tool does not match. only matches are made in the Priority field
as you can see, the first line should match the filter that is selected , yet it is ignored and only matches the priority field

Bad format from MAC Address
Hello ITs,
We are getting SNMP traps from differents WLC 2504 (Cisco Wifi Controller) to our Kiwi Syslog Server (version 9.5.1.59) deployed on Windows Server 2012 64bits. The following problem it was discovered when we saw all MAC-addresses appears in bad format (see file attached below). We need to change the file format from cldcClientIPAddress.0 to Hex String. How can I change this field from "Messange Text"? I captured the SNMP trap and appears in well format.
Thanks you and best regards.
