As you all may recall, it's been 7 months since Kiwi Syslog v9.5 was posted (see Kiwi Syslog 9.5 is now Available! ). I am very much looking forward to a major release (i.e. v10). What would this new version contain? I have a few things in my wish-list...
- Increased the of number of syslog messages and snmp traps that can Kiwi can handle. According to a posting on Geek Speak (How many messages can Kiwi Syslog manage?), Kiwi can handle between 400 and 600 messages per second. I'd like to see that go all the way up to 2,000 messages (or more).
- Rules Wizard (for the novice and those of us with diminished brain-cells due to age.
- Full web-based management option. I don't know about other Thwackers, but I prefer not to use Win32 (via RDP) whenever possible.
- Additional Polling Engine option for Kiwi. This, so we can have multiple servers handle syslog messages and snmp traps.
I am sure that other Thwackers have many other items in their respective wish-list for Kiwi. I'd like to hear from you. And, of course, I'd like to hear from the Kiwi PM, to tell us what's in the Roadmap for the next Kiwi release. Have a great day, everyone!!!
