Kiwi Log Server
SolarWinds Kiwi Log Server is a centralized syslog management solution used to collect, store, analyze, and archive syslog and SNMP messages from network devices. It facilitates real-time event monitoring and enables network administrators to efficiently manage logs and ensure network security and compliance..
SolarWinds Kiwi Log Server operates as a syslog server, primarily collecting syslog messages from a diverse array of network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, and servers. It listens for incoming syslog or SNMP trap messages over port 1470 (typically TCP) and organizes these logs for management and analysis. The server provides a user-friendly web-based interface that allows administrators to view, search, and filter logs in real-time.
A critical feature of the Kiwi Log Server is its log alerting and archiving capabilities. Custom rules can be configured to trigger alerts based on specific keywords, patterns, or sources, enabling proactive network management. Additionally, it supports log retention policies essential for auditing, compliance, and troubleshooting purposes, allowing administrators to maintain historical log data efficiently.
The software also integrates with other monitoring tools and supports export capabilities for detailed reporting and analysis. Its lightweight footprint and ease of deployment make it a popular choice among organizations looking to establish centralized log management without complex setup or high resource consumption.
