Hi Guys

I am keen to try this product however i already have a syslog solution in place using Kiwi syslog.

Would i be able to point Log Insight manager to the Kiwi server ?

Regards

If you are already using Kiwi then you could forward the logs from Kiwi to Log Insight: http://www.kiwisyslog.com/help/syslog/index.html?action_forward_to_another_host.htm

NO, but you can configure the Log Insight as a second syslog target on your ESXi hosts.

Or you might be able to make Kiwi forward the logs to Log Insight.

+1 for forwarding from Kiwi. This is the setup we use, in essence using Kiwi as a log aggregator and Log Insight as a search tool.

If your question is answered, can you please mark it as answered (FYI may not work in IE so try Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Opera if needed)?
