IpMonitor is still being developed. Where were you told it was end of life? Also support will be provides as long as you have current maintenance. Please see the last post in this link: IPM Updates

Here is a free tool: http://downloads.solarwinds.com/solarwinds/Release/SupportTools/SolarWindsSnmpWalk.zip

What is the volume of syslogs that you have coming in?

Ryann, Please censor any sensitive information, and post a screenshot of the monitor settings.

Please see this link: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/syslog/index.html?filters_ip_range.htm If you want to filter on one IP address, use that for both the start and end address.

What version are you running?

There is no built in way to export a list of devices. On workaround is to go to the Devices tab, click on All Manged Devices, highlight all devices, and copy and paste them into an Excel spreadsheet.

There is an existing feature to get this functionally added to NTM.

Have you applied any hotfixes?

You car try using Variations with the Pre-login keystroke option. See thsi link: https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Kiwi_CatTools/Kiwi_CatTools_Documentation/Kiwi_CatTools_3_11_Administrator_Guide/030_Devices/030_Device_speciific_infomation/010_device_variations/020_How_to_use_variations

Do you specifically have to type "a", or can you hit enter to accept?

A capture file should show you all communication between the CatTools system, and your device.

I would look for a device that uses a similar cli. The Device.Backup.Running Config should only log in and run some type of show command. 

Dan, Use the CatTools File menu to select the "Enable capture mode" option. This will create a capture file in the Cattools3\debug folder. This will show you all communication between CatTools and your device. After your troubleshooting is done, don't forget to disable capture mode.

I posted something like this. You will want to remove the / before the ?.

George, You can try using a script to split up the information. See this link: Kiwi Syslog Server

Try the following: 1. Edit your device 2. Click the Variations tab, and then Use Variations 3. Click the Modify Output tab, and check all 3 boxes under Strip Characters Let me know if that helps.

In both cases, you will want to set the priority on the NIC in Windows.

You will need to create the exact key and add the value.

This link will show you how to adjust the message buffer size: Kiwi Syslog Server

Here is a good comparison: https://www.kiwisyslog.com/compare-kiwi-syslog-solarwinds-log-event-manager

You my need to have the MIBs added to Kiwi Syslog for your device.

Eric, Please try a Device.CLI.Send commands activity. Please see this link: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/cattools/index.html?act_devclisendcmd.htm

Please upload a screenshot of your Pre/Post login settings.

Omar, Please see this link: login as: prompt

Please see this link: Adding devices to the Kiwi Syslog free version Is this what you were referring to?

What does a Putty log show as your login prompt?

If you are looking to send Windows event logs to a syslog server you can use the Log forwarder tool. Different vendors use different commands to enable syslog on their devices. Please see this link: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/syslog/index.html?configure_devices.htm

You will want to run the UltiDev Web App Explorer. You can edit the web site (it should show as html). Go to the Network Address tab, and you can edit the port there.

Make sue you have the informational alert box checked. Here is more information on that alert: ipMonitor :: About Information Alerts
