I am trying to get Kiwi Syslog Server functioning but have been banging my head all day. I am testing it in a very basic lab environment. Its a Verizon Fios wireless router (with buil-in switch). I have an esxi host plugged into the Verizon router. I have a WIndows 2012 VM running with Kiwi installed. I am soimply looking to catch syslog messaged from the Fios router. I have configured the Fios router to send the messages to the IP of my syslog server. The Kiwi service is definitely started but I receive no messages. I downloaded the message generator and installed it directly on the syslog server. I generate a test message UDP port 514 to loopback address 127.0.0.1. It says the message was sent ok but it never displays in the kiwi console.
All settings are default. I also tried binding the IP of the NIC to the UDP config under Setup>Inputs. I am new to Server 2012 so maybe I am missing something., Oh I also made sure the Windows Firewall is OFF.
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated
Warm Regards,
Ed
