What types of devices can send SNMP traps through Kiwi Syslog Server to Loggly?

Kiwi Syslog Server can capture and forward SNMP traps from networking gear, storage devices, and servers to Loggly for analysis.

Do I need to configure filters before forwarding logs to Loggly?

No, filters are optional. The demonstration uses the default rule without any filters, though you can add filters if you want to selectively forward specific log types.

TL;DR

SNMP traps from network gear, storage devices, and servers are captured by Kiwi Syslog Server but remain as plain text, limiting analysis capabilities
Integration with Loggly requires generating an API token from the Loggly Source Setup interface and copying it to clipboard
Configuration in Kiwi Syslog Server involves adding a Log2Loggly.com action to the default rule, pasting the token, and optionally adjusting thresholds before testing and activating

Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to integrate Kiwi Syslog Server with Loggly to transform plain text SNMP traps into analyzable log data. The process involves generating a Loggly API token through the Source Setup interface, then configuring a new action in Kiwi Syslog Server's default rule to automatically forward captured traps and syslogs. The integration enables advanced troubleshooting and analysis of network device, storage system, and server events that would otherwise remain as difficult-to-parse plain text. The configuration takes just a few clicks and immediately begins forwarding logs to Loggly's cloud-based analysis platform, making it easier to identify patterns and troubleshoot issues across infrastructure components.
