Kiwi script works with Test button but not with live data

Hi all,

I have been trying to create a script that will capture duplicate log events and periodically spit to the display a modified entry preceded by an accurence. count.  I have included an output to display command within the script for debugging purposes The script is working as designed with the test data, but when live data come in, it appears to completely skip my script and go straight to the display action; the internal display in the script appears to not execute.

Attached is the script, very heavily modified from the script in the VPN SYSTEM item under content, altough I suspect it is not the script at fault.

On other caveat - the information in the live stream is Windows event log data from a SolarWinds log forwarder.

I would be grateful for any input.

Thank you,

Brian

  • Are there any errors in the Syslog server error log?

    Nothing at all that looks relevant in the error log or in the local server logs.

  • It seems like the data isn't matching so the rule isn't triggering.  What is your filter criteria and does the test and live data match?

    Sample from using test button:

    2014-03-31 15:42:33 Kernel.Error xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx This is a test message from Kiwi Syslog Server

    2014-03-31 15:43:40 Kernel.Error xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (2x)This is a test message from Kiwi Syslog Server

    These are generated from within the script and set to a Display I'm using for debugging - these never make it to the intended final destination display. That may be by design.

    Here is a sample message from the actual server event stream:

    03-31-2014 14:42:13 Kernel.Error SERVERNAME Mar 31 14:42:13 SERVERNAME.domain MSWinEventLog 3 Application 3589 Mon Mar 31 14:42:13 2014 5 Smart Card Logon N/A Error SERVERNAME.domain 0 An error occurred while retrieving a digital certificate from the inserted smart card. The specified reader name is not recognized.

    This message shows up in the intended final destination display. However, it does not show up on the debug display, which would seem to indicate to me that it is completely bypassing my script.

    Thanks for trying to help,
