Many customers in Japan receive syslog messages in Shift-JIS code. Legacy KSS had a "Data Encoding" setting, so Japanese characters were not garbled. However, KSS NG v1.4 does not have a "Data Encoding" setting in the INPUTS protocols settings. As a result, Japanese messages in Shift-JIS are garbled in KSS NG. Please add a…
In Syslog NG we need to regex the message texts to find the value of the deviceID and then use that in the log file name so that we can split the logs based on that value. I've created a script, which executes but doesn't match and capture the deviceID value. I've tested and see $Common["VarCleanMessageText"] has the value…
Installed a new version of Kiwi Syslog Server NG. We have the lagacy version of Kiwi Syslog running in production and it is using SQL server. How do I configure SQL for Kiwi Syslog Server NG? Is this database supported with the newer version? I am not finding any documentation on SQL and Kiwi Syslog Server NG. I am not…
We have been doing allot of troubleshooting with this and what we have discovered is that when the Kiwi NG Syslog server reaches 100 connections to the SQL server, it stops logging to the SQL server. There must be a bug or something with the NG Kiwi application. We have 1 location that does not reach the 100 threshold and…
It seems that there is a set period of time where my user session with Kiwi NG times out. I will switch over to the my browser tab and notice the lack of new syslog events and refresh the page only to be greeted by an nearly blank dashboard. The one fix for this is to navigate to the /login page and enter my credentials.…
I am working on a PowerShell script for use in a rule. The script needs to load the ActiveDirectory module to function. The ActiveDirectory Module requires System.ServiceModel.NetTcp under PWSH to run, however that is not currently available to the PowerShell libraries that are used by the Syslog NG service. The script…
I migrated this filter rule from KSS legacy, and there are a couple issues with it in NG. I'm looking for syslog messages where DOT1X failed, but want to exclude them if the client mac starts with 0010.49, 0800.0f, or 1400.e9 (Mitel phones). This worked like a charm in legacy, but the multiple entries under the Exclude…
I'm having trouble with the message content variable $Message.MsgHost in a rule action for send an email. I'm expecting it to return the host IP address of the message, but I'm getting a random number instead.
I have recently updated to Kiwi Syslog NG 1.2.1.4 and have found a couple bugs. I opened a Support Ticket for the first one, as it was directly affecting what I was working on. The second I just discovered, but have a workaround. Is there an official way to report bugs? Or is opening a Support Ticket the official way? Eric
I see Docs on selecting a Custom DB Format of Microsoft SQL. Though I cannot find anywhere to select the Microsoft SQL format, or a way to define my own format like in the old version. This is from v9.x I have an Existing table that is used on our Intranet site to Query Data from. I'd like to get the log to SQL to work the…
