Collect and archive logs with Kiwi Syslog Server NG
Centrally collect, view, archive, and manage your logs
Stay on top of your IT environment with simplified log collection
When every device on your network generates hundreds of logs each minute, collecting, managing, and archiving them can be a needlessly time-consuming and complicated process. Reviewing countless incoming log messages system by system is a nearly impossible feat, which is why network and systems engineers turn to SolarWinds® Kiwi Syslog® Server NG and its single, user-friendly console.
With Kiwi Syslog Server’s help, you can easily collect and manage syslog messages and SNMP traps from switches, servers, firewalls, and routers across your network, whether they’re from UNIX, Linux, or Windows systems. Kiwi Syslog Server simplifies the log aggregation process, saving you time and frustration. You can then filter and view your log messages according to their severity, hostname, or time, so you can find any critical messages quickly.
Save time with log archiving automation
By taking advantage of Kiwi Syslog Server’s log archiving automation functionality, you can fulfill retention policies to assist with compliance with regulatory standards. Not only will using Kiwi Syslog Server’s automated log archiving abilities help you save time, but it can also help ensure accuracy in the log archival and retention process.
Store and archive logs to assist with regulatory compliance
Storing log data for a certain period of time is likely part of your organization's retention policy. In addition to ensuring that you have the necessary documents for audits available and easily accessible, retention policies are often responsible for making sure that your organization is compliant with various regulatory standards, like HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS. Neglecting to meet regulatory compliance requirements can result in serious consequences, so log collection and log file storage should be top priorities.
With Kiwi Syslog Server's help, you can automate your log archival and retention process to help you demonstrate regulatory compliance. For example, you can store files you don't need for current analysis or archive log files with Kiwi Syslog Server. Kiwi Syslog Server offers increased accuracy when archiving logs while also saving you valuable time.
Forward logs to improve log archiving and network security
In addition to archiving logs with Kiwi Syslog Server, you can forward syslog messages and SNMP traps to other SolarWinds products, such as Papertrail™, Loggly®, Network Performance Monitor (NPM), and Security Event Manager (SEM), for storage, monitoring, analysis, threat detection, or real-time event correlation.
Kiwi Syslog Server can also forward SNMP traps and syslog messages collected from across your IT infrastructure to syslog hosts to external security and event management (SIEM) and network management systems, which can help you improve your network’s security.
Avoid losing messages thanks to syslog buffering
Typically, your processing engine won’t need to queue any messages, as it can keep up with the stream of incoming messages. However, during peak hours, your processing engine may become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of incoming messages and be unable to process them as they arrive.
In this situation, messages are added to a queue before being processed in the order they arrived. Kiwi Syslog Server NG has no default buffer size and its ability to buffer and process messages depends purely on the available RAM of the hardware it’s installed on. This approach helps ensure that incoming logs are stored and none are lost, helping you with your compliance requirements.
Get More on Log Collection
Do you find yourself asking…
Use filters and define rules to get the most out of Kiwi Syslog Server and improve log collection. By offering the ability to define up to 100 rules, as well as 100 filters and actions per rule, Kiwi Syslog Server enables you to collect, process, and respond to logs based on your needs. For example, Kiwi Syslog Server can run scripts, display a message, play a sound, send an email, pager message, or SMS message, reset counters, or send an SNMP trap in response to a log. It can even simplify log file storage by logging messages that pass through a rule's filters to a file, Loggly, Papertrail, or Kiwi Server Web Access.
Kiwi Syslog Server’s rules are highly customizable. Just set filters and actions to determine which messages trigger which actions. Neglecting to add filters will result in every incoming message triggering an action, so creating and applying filters to your rules is essential.
Kiwi Syslog Server can determine which messages will trigger actions based on their priority, IP address, text, input source, time of day, and hostname. Make sure to apply rules and filters in the order you’d like Kiwi Syslog Server to process them, as Kiwi Syslog Server starts comparing messages to rules and filters at the top.
