  • We just bumped up from 7.8 to 8.5 SP3 and after a week of running fine, we just experienced the same issue, with the same fix. We re-ran the Config Wizard, but I would bet good money that just restarting the Web Service would have gotten the maps back. I found the other thread that covers reseting permissions on the…

  • First off, "response time" of what? Let me demonstrate a critical difference. If I'm monitoring a Webpage in that remote site I'm getting a measure that is directly related to end-user/service experience. If I am monitoring a switch/router via PING & SNMP, my response time is a measure of the mgmnt capability of that…

  • Mikeyjay, we have a lot of experience here with pushing Kiwi to the max + Messages received - Last 24 hours: 134,712,626(commas added for readability) From my experience, two things primarily control Kiwi's throughput: DISK THROUGHPUT - Larger volumes require RAID array to increase write throughput - NT Compression works…
    in Kiwi Syslog Server High CPU Utilization - Messages Seem to be behind Comment by RoyalEF September 2010
  • Kiwi doesn't have log retention rules or limits. I'm using 7.2.35 (registered) and we manually remove firewall logs every month. We rely on the disk space alert to let us know when it is time. Our firewall Syslog server takes in 6 to 7 million messages per hour, and we log log over 25 Gb per day on a busy day. We retain 7…

  • You say you are monitoring wireless network. Are these counters for the RADIO interface of an AP? The EThernet port of AP? The ethernet port of a Cisco WLC or other centralized controller? Are these counters reported from the SWITCH or the DEVICE plugged into a switch. A radio with those number would scream interference…

  • Mikeyjay, any possibility that is is just a timezone/NTP issue. If you look at these four messages, the timestamps are bouncing around: 2010-08-24 08:31:25 PI Subject: 10.5.0.2: 3552813: Aug 24 07:28:31.274: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.12.1.41 on Vlan600 from F 2010-08-24 08:31:25 PI Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 08:31:25…
    in Problem with Syslog Message Delay and out of Order. Comment by RoyalEF September 2010
  • We've definitely seen this. 100Mb ports reporting spikes of 105/108 Mbps on a 3 minute poll. The ones that standout are internet routers-cisco 7200s. Some errors could be mathematical, however, I doubt that the 7200 is buffering an average of 108 mbps for 3 minutes straight and discards are at zero. So it always looked…

  • I'd double-check the ALARMS/DISK SPACE MONITOR settings. By default it usually monitors C: drive, regardless of where you choose to store your Kiwi logs. It might just be looking at the wrong drive letter--or your drive letters changed recently due to the addition of a drive/cd-rom/etc.

  • Check my other post for what rules I've documented for ASAs. These rules are great for the first 7 rules if you've got an ASA. It will also handle a lot of other devices--although some exceptions are probably needed. Then you can process all the other devices. It's near impossible to provide a one shoe fits all for any…

  • If you don't have Recovery setup for the Kiwi Service, I would suggest trying these settings. Kiwi falls down every couple of days here unless we have recovery configured this way. Reset Fail Count after 1 Day is key... otherwise 4 failures in a day and you stop syslogging. These settings get us past the regular service…

  • Since setting up a new server on 9.1 (old servers run 7.x) we are also seeing three related issues: More service failures (a service stop can be recovered from by automatic restarts of the service under windows' SERVICES ) We seen this issue across multiple version of Kiwi, but the frequency has definitely increased. A…
