Case Study: Using Syslog in a Microsoft & Cisco Environment
- Abstract
- This case study details the development of a centralized logging infrastructure using Syslog in a Microsoft and Cisco based environment. The primary technology piece that our company employed was the Kiwi Syslog Daemon1 for Windows. While Kiwi has already been the topic of a wonderfully informative SANS paper by Brian Wilkins2, I have sought to build on his work by discussing ways to extend the product's functionality and by focusing on practical uses of the technology.
