WinSyslog 4.0 Release Candidate 1 Released
Erftstadt, 2002-01-24.
Adiscon today announced WinSyslog 4.0 Release Candidate 1 (RC1).
Version 4.0 is a major improvement over the 3.x releases. It comes with a newly
designed enhanced multi-threading background service (the so-called
"engine"). It offers superior syslog performance and even further
enhanced reaction to system events.
There are numerous enhancements. Here are some of the most important
ones:
- Multiple syslog listeners - a single WinSyslog instance can now run
multiple syslog listeners, each one listening to different ports.
- TCP support - syslog messages can now also be received via TCP.
- Multiple Rule Bases - each syslog listener instance can have a
specific rule base assigned.
- Large Burst Support - WinSyslog has a unique high performance
engine that guarantees message buffering during even the most extreme burst
traffic.
- Many more Criteria - like time of day, weekday, message occurrence
and more. Allows extremely flexible message processing.
- Great New Actions - to be carried out as a result of receiving a
specific message. For example, processes can now be started (for example VB
scripts or batch files).
- WinSyslog Realtime View now a Separate Program - this makes it
easier from a usability point of view. Also greatly improved the speed of
the display under Windows XP.
WinSyslog 4.0 RC1 is a free download found at
Adiscon's web site. Interested users should download and try out the
version. Please note that even though it is a release candidate, there might be
some bugs in the code. We recommend using it on test systems, only.
