SolarWinds Kiwi

SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server has a free edition where you can collect, view, and archive syslog messages. It is easy to set up and configure how it receives, logs, displays, and forwards syslog messages from network devices, such as routers, switches, Unix hosts, and other syslog‐enabled devices.

The free version of Kiwi will allow you to get statistics in real time from five sources, with summaries available in the console. You will also be able to receive and manage syslog messages from network devices and view syslog messages in multiple windows.

Just like any other software, you will want to make sure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements and that you've opened the appropriate ports so communication can occur. In Kiwi Syslog Server, you will need Windows 7 or newer, Internet access, and at least 4 GB of disk space. Kiwi Syslog Server uses the ports listed in Table 9.1.
