Kiwi Syslog Server Installation and Upgrade Guide

SolarWinds strongly recommends that you install Kiwi Syslog Server on a server that is protected from unauthorized access by the public. If your use of Kiwi Syslog Server does not need to be public or internet-facing, install it on a server that is neither public, nor internet-facing. To learn about best practices for configuring your Kiwi Syslog Server installation securely, see Best practices to secure SolarWinds Products.

Kiwi Syslog Server is a syslog server for the Windows platform. It receives syslog messages and SNMP traps from network devices such as routers, switches, and firewalls. You can choose the newer recommended version, or the legacy version.
