I've never come across a better tool for logging, filtering, and notification as the Kiwi Syslog Daemon.

Release notes for version 3.3.15 Beta

  (released on 2008-10-20)

Adds

  • Added login Connect Via support to Cisco.ACE device script
  • Added a daily purge routine of the CatTools ActivityLog database table (with a default of records greater than 30 days)
  • Added a caption to the Activity Log pane to show a count of the returned records

Changes

  • Modified Foundry.Switch.General device script to strip leading Null character from the device hostname if found
  • Modified Foundry.Switch.General device script to try the 'copy running-config startup-config' command if the 'write mem' command is not valid
  • Modified Juniper.Netscreen.Firewall device script to negotiate the "accept this agreement y/[n]" prompt which appears in the login banner for Juniper Netscreen O/S version 6.1
  • Modified Netgear.Switch.General device script reducing the speed at which password characters are sent to the device. This is to prevent characters from being missed on slower devices (therefore passwords would fail)
  • Modified Netgear.Switch.General device script for Report.Version Table activity to not fail if 'show memory cpu' command is invalid or no data returned
  • Modified Sun.SunOS.General device script to accept device hostname prompts of :~>
  • Activity pane caption now includes a count of enabled (ticked) activities
  • Scheduler timer can no longer be started if there are no activities, or there the user hasn't enabled (ticked) any activities
  • If the "When exiting the Manager should:" option value is 'Set the timer to ON' or 'PROMPT if the timer is off', CatTools now checks for at least one enabled (ticked) activity. If none found the timer is not started and a message box is displayed to the user
  • If the "When opening the Manager should:" option value is 'Set the timer to ON', CatTools now checks for at least one enabled (ticked) activity. If none found then the timer is not started
  • The "Auto enable timer mode 'X' second after service startup" event is now cancelled when the Manager interface is started
  • The "Auto enable timer mode 'X' second after service startup" option minimum value is now 1 second (previously allowed a value of 0 to be set)
  • The "Auto enable timer mode 'X' second after service startup" option removed from CatTools configuration settings form if installed as the Application version
  • Activity Log pane is no longer populated on Manager interface startup (for startup performance increase)
  • Removed code to refresh Activity Log pane on completion of an activity if running as a Service without the Manager interface running (for performance increases)
  • The "HTML report maximum row limit" value is now checked before closing the CatTools configuration setting form, to ensure the value entered is within the permissible range

Fixes

  • Fixed bug in Activities pane where incorrect count of records was being shown in the caption if the grouping box option was being used
  • Code added to force dates in a 'mm.dd.yyyy' format to 'mm/dd/yyyy' format which is then compatible with the Jet database
  • Fixed the CatTools Client to replace illegal characters \/:*?<> found in the device file name to a safe _ (underscore) character
  • Upgrade of CatTools protocol connection client to v2.6.8.84. Resolves connection issue with Enterasys XSR3250 router (30017 error)
