Have installed 9.5 RC. Export Settings to INI is file incomplete.If we Export Settings to INI file from File menu,incomplete settings r exported to the INI file. If we go to Setup by clicking red tick icon (where we configure rules) & go to 2nd last item 'Defaults/Import/Export' & take an export of settings & rules in INI file, the INI file exported is correct.The same problem was in earlier version of 9.4.1.

We've been having problems getting kiwi syslog server to start under windows server 2012 R2. EMET won't allow the service to start. Has anyone gotten this to work under windows server 2012 R2? This is a serious problem for us. One of my partners has a case 999667 open on this now. Since most of our logging depends on the kiwi syslog server we are working on projects that require this functionality and auditors aren't going to like this not working.

I have been having the same issue with syslog server on server 2012 R2 since last week. I have been trying to install v9.5.2 (as RC 9.6 wasn't out yet) and the install would get to the point of starting the syslog server service only to fail every time. It kept telling me to install the service using a member of the administrators group. I installed it using the Local System account. The manger.exe and service.exe files were on the machine but the service would never start. After reading your post, I went into EMET and added those two .exe applications for exceptions. I disabled all mitigations for the two and then re-ran the installer for syslog. Everything installed fine and the service started up allowing me to open the manager. I will have to mess with the mitigations to see if there is a specific one that will allow the service to run. Try this out and see if it allows you to install kiwi.

I just installed the RC yesterday. The only problem I have and I have already submitted a ticket on it, is the Hostnames are showing up as 0.0.0.0 instead of the actual hostname or IP address. In case SolarWinds needs to know, theCase # 1118924.

I have it installed on 2012 R2 with no issues. Services start fine. I had to make sure that I installed it as an Administrator, and that I check the properties of the install file to make sure it was not blocked.

Engineering team is aware of this "0.0.0.0" issue. KSS 9.6 RTM will have it fixed.
