Thanks Dirk for all the hunting for more information. I still don't understand what/how you check the TCP listerner and check for connection..

I just checked with Andrew (who makes the KiwiSyslog server) about the webpage, and this is his answer:

"
Q:And can the KiwiSyslog server create a webpage?
A: Not normally. You can output to XML format, but not really a web page. Best way to test for Syslog running is to use TCP listener and check for connection.
"


(looks like what I said, check the TCP listener....)

When you get it set up, I'd (and I'm sure other's) would like to see this. I'm missing something, does/can kiwi create a webpage??

The only thing I'm doing right now is checking the syslog service, but I've come to the understanding lately that the service can be up, but not actually working. Ultimayely what I plan on doing is setting up a loop - IE sa sends a syslog event to kiwi and then sa will check kiwi's log via a webpage that I built that looks at the last logged IsAlive event and compares it to the current time. It will spit out syslog alive or syslog dead - I haven't done it yet, but it seems the easiest way to ensure the syslogd is up.

If you'd like I can send you a more detailed solution including the .asp page I use when I've built it.

Subject: [SA-list] Kiwi's syslog

I'm running the latest beta for salive along with Kiwi's Syslog. I have
salive set to report it's up's and downs to syslog on port 514 (all works
well). Can I set salive to check to see if syslog is running??? This is on
a win98se box.

Thanks
