IP Address Format

$

0

I need a solution for formatting an IP Address or MAC Address.  I see that some records correctly format the IP address or the MAC address, but I need one record returned with the correctly formatted IP address and MAC address so that I can identify Internet traffic from a device.  Is there a solution for getting these items formatted?


Kiwi Syslog Server free ed. not receiving SNMP Traps version 2c

$

Hello Everybody.

 

I'm having troubles receiving SNMP Traps v 2c on Kiwi Syslog Server Free edition.

Although it is described in the feature list that this is supported (also in the documentation), i can receive version 1 but not 2c.

 

Using Wireshark to listen to the traffic i can clearly see SNMP traps version 2 incoming, but nothing appears on syslog server.

 

Can anyone help?

I asked support@ and sent many mails, but didn't get any answer to the problem, they just said to post my question here because this is a free product.

 

Thank you very much.

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):

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,

'How much traffic can Kiwi Syslog Server handle?'

$

according to the FAQ.. Our software is built and tested to support more than two million messages an hour without tuning.   (That would support more than 500 machines each sending one message a second.)


This blog says to split out your busiest syslog source...

But what do you do when a single source exceeds 600-1000 messages per second? eg., upstream syslog aggregator or firewalls

Promo Download

I just downloaded the free 14 day trial of the syslog server yesterday.  I am having one small problem in viewing this software.  When I try to log on to the web access service, I am denied, and I know I am not typing in the wrong username or password.  I have an approx. 8-12 length character password, and after entering it, the password line writes in its own characters.  What I mean is that instead of the 8-12 length character password being entered, the screen freezes, makes the password some 30 characters long, and then denies me.  Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

SYSLOG to SQL

Brand new KIWI 9.1 eval user... succeeded in getting my SYSLOG fed to a SQL table, but need to parse the msgtext field.   I'm not a script writer, but hope there is a way to do this without scripting???    I've attached an exerpt from what ends up in the SQL table.  The delimiter for the MSGText field is Binary 09 which I believe is a tab?    Also, a screen shot of how my rules are currently set up (and feeding but not parsing...)

The actual log entry would look like this with the underlined bold part being the msgtext to be parsed.......

Hi All,

I would like to create an alert (using Kiwi Syslog server) on a syslog message if an OSPF adjacency goes down, but I prefer to add (or replace) the neighbor (in this example 172.31.0.136) with a custom string.

 

Nov 18 10:27:40: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 172.31.0.136 on GigabitEthernet1/0/23 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Interface down or detached

 

Any ideas if it's possibile and how?

Many thanks!

Administrator Password Missed; Other way to login

Hi,

 

I have recently been handed over Kiwi Syslog server to manage which has both Fat Client and Web Server. Fat Client is directly logged in however Web console could not be logged in. When I checked regarding the password of "Administrator", I have been informed that resource handling it has left long ago and there is no one to tell.

 

Is there a way we can reset the password of Administrator or create a new user from Syslog Fat Client. I cant raise the request with Support as we do not have active maintanence.

 

Thanks,

Syed


Event Log Forwarder - Where is the Audit Failure Type?

$
0

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,

Send log to Kiwi vs Save in a log file

$

Hi there,

 

             I'm trying to figure out which way is better? Correct me if I'm wrong.

             Currently, I want to change log level from critical to notification. I tried to avoid fill up log storage in the swtich (e.g. 3850)

1. Kiwi: I need to change console log level in order to send notification logs to kiwi, which all the notification logs would store locally in the switch then.

2. Log file (logging logfile logfile-name severity-level [ size bytes ]):  I can just change saving log file level to notification, and still store critical logs locally in the switch.

 

           If I'm right about the concept, wouldn't it be better to store syslogs in a log file instead of sending to kiwi?

 

               Thank you!!

 

Best,

Lionel

no log shows on Kiwi Syslog Web Access

I am having kiwi syslog 9.5 installed.

I choose to install as service and also installed the web access.

The syslog console opened fine and I see logs on displayed and also to file.

However, with the web access, it shows nothing (what so ever).  I checked the Setup on Console Manager and see that under Rules i have 2 exact same option for "Log to Syslog Web Access".  Everything under that options checked.

But I still see no log on web access.

 

1) I tried to uncheck all the "Log to Syslog Web Access".

2) Closed the Console Manager and reopened it

3) Checked mark one of the 2 optioins "Log to Syslog Web Access" and everything below it.

4) Opened and log in to web access -> Still see nothing.

 

any idea?
