Hi,

VisualSyslog Server is really great. I just miss the ability to run it as a Windows Service to switch from Kiwi.

Is this planned for a future release ?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi,
Is there a way to save separate files for each network device? For example, all syslogs coming from router 10.0.0.1 is saved as 10.0.0.1.log, syslogs from 10.0.0.2 as 10.0.0.2.log, etc.
Thank you

Hello All,

"Error udp: Error code: 10049"

Any one help me for same .
Thanks in Advance

Currently visualsyslog is not very nice to be used as a portable application. Problems I found:

1. It puts configuration files in AppData\Local folder. This is not a good folder for putting configuration files that are not machine specific. AppData\Roaming folder should be used instead for these files[1]. syslog files are good to stay AppData\Local instead since they were work/session specific;
2. It doesn't recreate automatically files it needs to work: cfg.xml, process.xml, highlight.xml. Ideally it should be able to recreate all required configuration files, if missing;
3. There's not an easy way (or I am not aware of it) to have just a pure portable application with configuration and all other needed files (example alarm.wav) in the same folder as the executable. Easiest way would be to detect presence of cfg.xml in the same folder as the executable and work from that to find all other needed files.

It seems like the only way to configure this server for multiple users is to copy over the config files for every user to %user/local.
Could you add a check to see if there are config files in CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA (often C:\programdata\ in win10) and then if there is no config present check local user for the files. This allows for a common config regardless of the user and allows for a cleaner installation on systems with active directly or other such login schemes.

Time is wrong, at least in the case of DD-WRT (Build 29739) syslog. The router registers the correct time.

Hello,

Can I run the programs as a service? I tried New-Service -Name VisualSyslog -binaryPathName "C:\Program Files (x86)\visualsyslog\visualsyslog.exe" after install it, but it crashes trying to start the service. By the way, I'm running it on a Windows 2016 server

Thanks

Would it be possible to add a sorting based on the columns. Basically only "time" would be interesting to sort descending. New lines to be added on top - instead of bottom.

Context menu entry "Copy to clipboard" copies the entire content, i.e. all messages. I would like to have an option to copy only the selected message/messages.
Currently I'm using version 1.6.4
Thanks a lot for a great program!

GUI does not appear in the foreground but the application is running in the background. who is responsible to block GUI but daemon is working

if this support mysql db would be better.. thank you again

How do i output haproxy log to files by visualsyslog

Hi,
Actually, i'm unable to change the default configuration directory.
I want to store filter.xml, params.ini elsewhere (ie: in the program folder, ..)
Thanks,
Florian

Apparently, this options only runs exes.

In my case, a have a vbs script to send a message to a Telegram conversation (using bot).

Is it possible?

Cannot seem to pass {host} which is odd considering {message} is working ok.
Looking at the code only potential issue might be that multi-replace might not work
in my case pushing the alerts into growl, with the {host} in the display and title

Please consider a portable version...

for what I could see the only files that are "hardwired" to %AppData%\Local
are the .xml/.ini/*.wav and the syslog...

rectifying this to be searched from the folder the program is lauched (%0)
should be enough...

but also search for this files from the path configured for syslog
is a possibility too...

Has anyone done a port of this repository to Visual Studio Community Edition or other free Windows C++ compilers?

Visualsyslog is hawesome ! Thanks for your work !
I would like to know if it is possible to have some kind of config file or have the ability to run it from command lines with parameters?

I would like to install visualsyslog and start it with my parameters from remote.

Thanks for that !

Firstly, brilliant piece of software!
In the Message Processing Setup I have now added quite a few filters. How can I backup the configuration so that I can restore should the need arise?

hi i couldn't find any place for write this message, for that i am writing on issues. this is not issues. this is for thank you. this software is wonderfull. if i learn programing as well as you i will make better. but for now this need some updates.

1. db selection can be better. for example mysql. i am tracking wifi users with mac on this program. wifi aps sending all logs and i am viewing. if this support mysql i can use my data. i can pair mac adres and user name. i also storing user information mysql database.

2. more functional highlight screen. like user mac pairing i can pair ap mac and ap place. with this who one is where i can know. i also used this softw. on stolen phone. i write mac adress with highlight alarm. and we found. this is not easy but very good.

thank you again.
best regards.

Visual Syslog last time minimized and reboot my pc. After that i'm starting visualsyslog but now window is shown.
Whats happend?
The Taskmanager shows me the process is running.

Hi,

When you clear the log list and send a new TCP message, the status bar indicates you received the message but the grid does not refresh properly. If you click each cell, the content is refreshed.

A similar behavior happens in the opposite. If there is one message listed and you press the clear button, the message is not removed until you click each cell to force refresh.

Regards,
Mauro.

I guess it would be beneficial to have fraction of seconds available

Hi,

i noticed that the host field in the visual syslog server GUI is not updated with the hostname of the machine sending the syslog message

Any tab characters in the message portion are replaced with spaces, would it be possible to add an oiption to disable this?

My syslogs contain a tab delimited message format and I would like to import the log into excel as a tab delimted CSV file. But with the tabs converted to spaces this doesn't work.

I don't understand why the [Rotate by date] has a trailing hour label behind it. What does this mean? If I say [Rotate by date] <1>, does that mean it will rotate daily but keep only the last hour of each day?

Hi,

I am unable to add rules via the Highlighting setup window. When selecting criteria and using the add button new rules are not being saved.

I have been able to add rules to the message processing without an issue so it seems isolated to highlighting only.

I installed via visualsyslog_setup.zip onto Windows 10.

I've noticed that there is a possability to run multiple instances of the application. Great if there was an option to prevent that.

Hi, i would like to use this program by sending it HTTP request messages instead of raw TCP/UDP. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello,

I encounter a bug with the option "View File", it doesn't display good information.
Am I the only one with this problem?

In the main display, it works:

But with the "View file" with the same file it doesn't work:

Am I wrong somewhere?
I test with the old version 1.2 and the latest version 1.6.4 and it was the same result.
I test on Windows 10 and on Windows Server 2019.

When triying to exclude some IP addresses from sending mails, it is not working.

I can do this with 1 ip adress, although from the moment I add a 2nd one it's not doing this rule anymore.

Is there anyway that you could add the functionality to send email every "#" of events? Or maybe send email every 1hr?

example 1: Send email every 100 events.
example 2: Send email every 6 hrs
