Announcing Kiwi Syslog Server NG 1.2 is now Generally Available

We would like to announce Kiwi Syslog Server NG (New Generation) version 1.2. This release contains following new features and improvements

  • Improvements to the KSS NG installer
    In the KSS NG installer, you can now configure and check a specified HTTPS port number to bind to the Kiwi Syslog Server NG web interface.

  • Upgraded to run on .NET 8
    KSS NG has been updated to run on .NET 8, the newest version of the .NET framework. In the KSS  NG installer, the .NET 8 framework is automatically downloaded and installed to create a streamlined user experience and ease of installation. For details, view the .NET support policy.

  • Persistency for log events
    The display buffer has been improved to persist log events data. KSS NG can now save and reload up to 10,000 events per display buffer, even after Windows or the KSS NG service is restarted.

  • Process syslog messages without headers
    UDP/TCP syslog messages that do not contain RFC headers can now be processed and displayed in the KSS NG web console.

  • Log to SolarWinds Observability
    Use the new Log to SolarWinds Observability rule action that is now available in Kiwi Syslog Server NG. Forward logs you receive through KSS NG to SolarWinds Observability, a comprehensive observability solution for managing cloud infrastructure, applications, networks, and more. To set up this rule action, see Log to SolarWinds Observability.

  • Functionality fixes
    The Log to database - New bulk insert rule action now correctly logs messages to servers that use integrated Windows security.
    Users with configurations of 21 or more rules are now able to reorder rules.
