KiWi Syslog Server Failing to Log Events

Version: 9.x

Explanation:

In at least one case, after upgrade to KiWi Syslog Server 9.x, the client path to logging resources did not correctly point to \Windows\system32\KiwiEventlog.dll, preventing the processing of log data. In place of event details you see a generic message:

“The description for Event ID (1) in Source (Kiwi Syslog Server ) Cannot be found. The local computer may not have necessary registry information or message dlll files to display messages from a remote computer... “

Resolution:

To restore normal logging:

  1. Open Regedit from the Run line.
  2. Locate this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\Kiwi Syslog Server
  3. Within the key verify and, if needed, correct these assignments:

    "EventMessageFile"="C:\Windows\system32\KiwiEventlog.dll"

    "CategoryMessageFile"="C:\Windows\system32\KiwiEventlog.dll"

    "CategoryCount"=dword:00000019

    "TypesSupported"=dword:00000007

     

     Note: The following text can be copied to a .reg file and imported into the registry:

    ==============

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Application\Kiwi Syslog Server]

    "EventMessageFile"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\KiwiEventlog.dll"

    "CategoryMessageFile"="C:\\Windows\\system32\\KiwiEventlog.dll"

    "CategoryCount"=dword:00000019

    "TypesSupported"=dword:00000007

    ==============
