Kiwi syslog server v9 display and logging

Hi,

I am using Kiwi syslog server v9 (freeware) to captue my FW logs. I have two FW's (172.16.1.21 and 172.16.1.22). I have configured 172.16.1.21 to forward logs to syslog server and configured the display as 172.16.1.21 in syslog server view the logs from this particular FW. I have alse configured the other FW (172.16.1.22) to forward logs to syslog server and configured the display as 172.16.1.22 to view logs from this particular FW. But i can see the logs from both FW under one display only i.e 172.16.1.21. Is it possible to have two differrent displays to toggle easily between the FW for viewing the logs. Also how can i save the logs separately for future reference.

Thanks,
Sridhar

You could have the two different fws in separate displays by creating filters and then manipulate them within actions..

Sridhar,

Just to elaborate on the previous post:

Rule "From FW 172.16.1.21"
Filters
+- IP Address : Simple, Include "172.16.1.21"
Actions
+- Display "172.16.1.21"

Rule "From FW 172.16.1.22"
Filters
+-IP Address : Simple, Include "172.16.1.22"
Actions
+-Display "172.16.1.22"

To save the logs, add a "Log to File" action to each rule, eg:

Rule "From FW 172.16.1.21"
Filters
+- IP Address : Simple, Include "172.16.1.21"
Actions
+- Display "172.16.1.21"
+- Log to File "C:\Program Files\Syslogd\Logs\FW_%HostName.txt"

Good morning,

I have Kiwi Syslog Deamon 7.1.0 Beta 5 configured with limit 10 virtual displays for organizing your messages.

Buying the licensed version 9.2.0 allows you to create more than 10 virtual displays for organizing your messages?

Thanks.

Within the win32 UI, if I understand what you are saying, I believe the answer is no. Now we have added a web console in a newer version and within here you can build filters, which I believe would scratch the itch. Have you installed the evaluation for the latest version and seen this?
