your storage devices, or even some of your servers is a great way to do some analysis and advanced troubleshooting. The difficulty with that is they're not really prone to good analysis work because they're basically plain text. But by using Kiwi Syslog Server, we can send those over to Loggly and then do our analysis. It's pretty easy, it's just a couple of clicks. This is how you do it. It's plain to see the Kiwi Syslog is actually capturing a whole bunch of traps and syslogs, but they're staying here for right now. To send them off to Loggly, we actually need an API key. And to get that API key, we'll jump over to Loggly. We'll go to Logs, and then Source Setup. Now we can just build a token. And then we can just grab our token. And just click here, copy to clipboard, and we got it. Now we'll jump back into Kiwi Syslog Server. Go to File, Setup. And we're just gonna work off the default rule for now. So here's our default rule. We have any filters we've defined, which we don't have any here. And then we can just build a new action. So right-click on Actions, Add an Action, and select from this, Log2Loggly.com. Paste in your token. If necessary, adjust some of these thresholds. You can click Test to confirm. And then hit OK. And there they are. It's really just that easy to get your SNMP traps from your devices through Kiwi Syslog Server and out to Loggly for advanced analysis.

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.
