THWACK: Message List - Kiwi Syslog

Hello,

I have installed kiwi syslog server 9.6.3.3 eval version and trying to configure syslog in TCP SSL mode.

First, these are the steps I following to configure the server:

a) created a self signed certificate using java keytool.

b) imported into windows certificates personal and trusted roots folder.

c) selected the imported certificate in kiwi setup configuration.

After following the above steps , I got below error in Event log file.

2017-11-29 16:40:06 Unable to bind secure TCP listener to port 6514 There might be a problem with the certificate provided.

After googling for this error, I got below link and used IIS server to create a self-signed certificate

Re: Kiwi Syslog Server does not display secure ASA syslogs

After configuring certificate which is generated from IIS, I started getting below error.

2017-11-30 12:37:30 Source: C:\Windows\SysWow64\mswinsck.ocx Error: Socket is non-blocking and the specified operation will block

But , I was able to receive messages in SSL mode using java code running in same box where syslog server is installed. If I try to run same java code from any box other than kiwi server, it is not receiving messages.

Observed similar behavior for TCP mode as well.

How to check syslog server is configured correctly or not? Is there any way to do that?.

Thanks in Advance!!

I have difficulties trying to send log using solar wind event log forwarder to kiwi syslog server, i followed the step shown online however I'm still not able to receive the log. Anyone can help?

You can check to see what is listening on TCP (port 1468) and Secure TCP (port 6514).

You can use following commands:

netstat -ao > C:\netstat.txt

tasklist > C:\tasklist.txt

This will let you see what is listening an which ports.

If you use Wiresharak on the Kiwi server, are the syslogs actually reaching that system?

I do not know if this is the correct place to post this question.

I am using Kiwi Syslog Server, and I have SolarWinds Event Log Forwarder for Windows installed on a computer.The forwarder will send test messages, but it is not sending the logs to the log server. Any suggestions?

Dejacpp...

What are you using to forward the logs from windows servers?

What are your subscription settings for the log forwarder?

I would like to get a verification for the stated tool, is it a freeware tool that I can use with a limitation features or is just 14 days trial version tool?

It isn't a free tool, you will need to purchase a license for it from SolarWinds. Yes you do have a trial version to test it out.

Syslog Server Windows - Log Server | Kiwi Syslog Server

Price is $295 Single License Install with 12 Maintenance

Always worth checking here as well: SolarWinds - Price List

I would recommend adding at least one of each device type in your network to CatTools. That way you will know CatTools works in your environment.

Hi David,

What is the Kiwi Syslog Server Free Edition?

Hi Vinay,

Thanks for your verification on the Kiwi Syslog Server license requirement. It has been confused since at the site it shown as free edition (100% Free).

Mohamed Ismail

Hello,

We got a old Kiwi syslog web access server with allot of different filters that need to be exported.

The problem is that we can only export one at the time... is there a way to export all at ones.

Please see this link:

Happy Holidays all!

I'm a longtime user of Kiwi Syslog. In the past, I would set my Max Alert to email me using a garbage AOL account I had setup back in the day. Now, AOL is requiring TLS sign and I can no longer get email notifications from my syslogger. Is there another way around this? How do you get your notifications?

We were looking into this as well and were told that there is currently no plan for encryption with TLS1.2. So we are looking at either running reports from the Syslog desktop application or possibly something different.

From SW support - "TLS 1.1 / 1.2 support for secure tcp" I already communicated this concern to our development team. They are already aware of the dead line which is June 2018 since some of our customers also requested for this certain feature and they are also complied to PCI-DSS"
