Problem with Kiwi Syslog Server and Syslog 1.22 plugin

Post by silverboy3 »

Hello,

I am using Kiwi Syslog server for pushing events to Syslog database.
My problem is the fact that now only warning messages are colored. With syslog 0.53 plugin everything was ok. Also nothing was changed in database structure in Kiwi server.
Something very strange is when i try to select other priority than warning and info messages in Cacti nothing is displayed, but if i chose all priorities i have Critical, Alert, Warning, Info, Notice events.
Could you please give me an advice about events background color.
Only warning events background color is working.

Thank you.
cacti version 0.8.7i
syslog 1.22

Hello,

I saw that nobody couldn't give me an opinion about this problem.
In the first picture are Warn messages colored ok. This messages are pushed by Kiwi Syslog Server.

The second one is with other type of messages that are not colored, but if we look at the priority field it should be ok.

I have checked in cacti database if priority field contains spaces or other signs but the message stored is clear: Info, Critical, Error, Debug etc.

It is something which i should check?
Thank you.

Hi,

I also use Kiwi Syslog daemon to push received syslog to cacti database (table syslog_incoming).
All syslog message in the web interface of cacti syslog plugin are uncolored.

after checking kiwi documentation, it says that "Each Syslog message includes a priority value at the beginning of the text. The priority value ranges from 0 to 191 and is made up of a Facility value and a Level value. The priority is enclosed in "<>" delimiters."
That's why all me syslog message have priority field build on "facility.priority" and do not match the color syslog setting

How do you configure kiwi server to only keep the real priority value/string in the priority field?

Ps: i'm using Kiwi v8.3.7

Thanks
