  • Hi All, We have upgraded our Kiwi Syslog Server to 9.8 from 9.7.2 HF1. Syslog server itself seems to be fine. However, Kiwi Syslog Web Access is broken after the update, which is not loading properly with username and password (Refresh to the same login page). Anyone else experiancing this issue? 

    I have opened a support request (00932701), however, no one is responding to it for up to two days now? any comments on this issue?

    Thanks,
    Neo

  • Anyone completed an upgrade to 9.8? We are currently on 9.6 and just wondering how much of a lift it really is. Guide makes it sound like all the settings will just cross over. We have a few filters and email alerts set up based on those. Contemplating if it would be easier to standup a new server and just switch the IP address.
