The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Using KIWI Syslog server with Cisco router but no messages are being logged?

Asked by dealvis in Broadband Internet

Using KIWI Syslog server for Cisco 1720 router logging but no messages are being logged except for when I use the IOS command "logging trap XXXX" command to change the logging level?

Cisco 1720 Router is perimeter router out in front of PIX FW.
rtr1720#show ver                
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software                                            
IOS (tm) C1700 Software (C1700-Y-M), Version 12.1(3)XT2, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEAS                                                                                
E SOFTWARE (fc1)


KIWI Syslog Daemon V8.0.2 (with trial license key installed) is running on Admin Workstation PC on internal LAN.

I think I have ruled out PIX because I do see an entry appear in the KIWI Syslog server display from the Cisco 1720 router when I change the logging level on the 1720 Router from "INFORMATIONAL" to "DEBUGGING" using the

 -> rtr1720(config)#logging trap debugging

command that looks like this:

08-07-2006    17:18:08  Local7.Notice    209.43.17.1    40:Aug 7 22:18:12: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by Admin on console

  I think I am missing something in router logging configuration?  Here it is, can an Expert take a look?

rtr1720#show logging
Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 1 messages rate-limited, 6 flushes,
 0 overruns)
    Console logging: disabled
    Monitor logging: disabled
    Buffer logging: level debugging, 7 messages logged
    Logging Exception size (0 bytes)
    Trap logging: level debugging, 40 message lines logged
        Logging to 209.43.17.61, 7 message lines logged

Log Buffer (4096 bytes):

Aug  5 23:27:42: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  5 23:31:56: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  5 23:35:32: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  6 00:19:45: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  6 00:28:42: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  6 00:32:10: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
Aug  6 00:32:51: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by suldao on console
rtr1720#


Note that the Admin PC running KIWI Syslog server is on the internal LAN behind the INSIDE interface of the PIX and has the address 192.168.0.9

I used a static command and an ACL entry on the PIX to facilitate the syslog messages from the router (209.43.17.1) on the "OUTSIDE" to reach the PC running the Syslog server on the "INSIDE".  Again, my assumption is I did this correctly or the entry that does appear from the router as shown above would never show, right?
