Is there a limit regarding new Kiwi "Rules" ?

Question

Hello!

I was just wondering if there is a limit regarding new Kiwi "Rules" ? 100, 1000, more?

Actually we have ~80 rules in use and create every week 1 or 2 new rules!

We manage a cisco network with ~2800 Devices.

2nd Question:

I m still waiting for Kiwi Web Access updates. Where can i check if there is a new patch available?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Hi lankienen,

Please see: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/syslog/rules_maximumrulecount.htm

Rules - Maximum Rule Count

Section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Syslogd\Options

Value (STRING): MaxRuleCount

Min value:   10
Max value:   999
Default value:   100
Type:      The Maximum number of rules allowable in Kiwi Syslog Server

Note:
Exceeding the maximum rule count of 100 is not recommended. Setting this value too high can adversely affect Kiwi Syslog Servers' performance and increase memory consumption dramatically. SolarWinds recommend persuing alternative methods if you are approaching the rule count limit of 100. Utilising the autosplit feature of file logging is one potential solution: for more information see AutoSplit values.

Running Kiwi Syslog Server on a native 64-bit machine?

On 64-bit Windows installations, Kiwi Syslog Server runs in WOW (Windows on Windows) 32-bit
emulated mode. In WOW mode, the SolarWinds registry hive resides in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node, not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
as it does on a native 32-bit Windows environment.

If you are running Kiwi Syslog Server on a native 64-bit windows machine, please re-map all
registry settings from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SolarWinds\... to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\SolarWinds\...
