It would be easier if you were to provide what you have.
Post your asa config with the sensitive data X'd out (external ips, passwords, identifiers)
Make sure that if you do have a software firewall enabled on the server where kiwi syslog is installed, that you have taken steps to configure the software firewall to allow syslog events to pass through.
hi arnold,
yeah i have checked all the stuff which is related to firewall on windows platform. I am able to take test setup from the KIWI but not able to got the log from the devices such as router,switch and firewall. how can i see the log in KIWI i am using KIWI Syslog service manager 8.3.40 version.
kiwi syslog does not take logs it receives notices from each device and displays those notices as a log.
To see an event in kiwi, try lowering the event logging configuration on the ASA to info, or debug for a short time.
Attempt a login into the ASA but enter an invalid username/password combination. Depending on the event logging configuration on the ASA, you should see an alert in kiwi referencing a failed login attempt.
On the ASA you should have something similar to this code
logging enable
logging timestamp
logging buffer-size 10000
logging buffered errors
logging trap informational
logging history errors
logging asdm notifications
logging host Inside 192.169.x.x
Where 192.168.x.x should be the IP of the host with the KIWI daemon. This code assumes the host is on the inside.
The logging trap statement defines the level of detail you want sent to the syslog.
On the host with the KIWI syslog, make sure there are no firewalls locally that would block UDP port 514 (syslog port). Also, in Kiwi, you should set a default rule to display any inbound message. Also, you can check in the ..\program files\syslogd\logs directories for the 'catchall' log. This should contain all the traffic sent to the log server.
hi guys ,
sorry for late conversation there was an issue that is that if u are going to configure asa in such that way as per cisco recommendation. i am able to see the log on asa through "sh logging" but not on kiwi.
i would like to know that how can i see the log in KIWI so can u plz tell me for that particular one.
thanks for ur nice suggestion.
kiwi syslog does not monitor anything. A syslog server is there to listen for notification.
kiwi syslog is not an application used to read a log from the cisco ASA.
kiwi syslog is an application that can receive notifications (syslog) which then can be displayed. If kiwi syslog does not receive any event notices, there is no information it can display.
We are trying to help you, what screen shot can we post that will help you?
Please post your ASA's configuration. Please also include the Internal IP of the kiwi server.
Please include the output of the following command:
show logging
In Kiwi, look at screen shots 4 and 5 here:
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/
Setup your default rule to log and display all the messages coming in from the ASA.
In FILTERS make sure all message trap levels are checked.
In ACTIONS make sure the DISPLAY is set.
You can also check the Catchall log just to be sure you are receiving the syslog info in case the display isn't showing anything.
hi,
just check if u are running any another syslog server on the same host so its possible that the host will use udp port 514 and that is already engaged with the other syslog server so u might not receive the log on kiwi I faced same problem where i was having solarwinds syslog server and kiwi syslog server on the same host.

If I am not mistaken, you need to configure the asa to log the events to an external source.
You need to define the kiwi server as a logging host as well as define what events should be logged.
