WinSyslog 4.2 Released

Grossrinderfeld, 2002-09-18.

Adiscon today announced the immediate availability of WinSyslog 4.2. This new Version offers a new benefits and improvements. Most importantly, Asian language support has been greatly enhanced.  

The most important enhancements are:

• German and French are now available consistently throughout the product screens.
• Much improved Japanese language support. The output encoding (EUC, JIS, SJIS) can now be selected for email and syslog forward actions .
• Incoming message can now be filtered based on a lower, higher or equal syslog priority. Previously, only an exact match was supported. This greatly simplifies rule creation in common scenarios.
• Replacement characters are now supported in the "Start Program" action. This allows e.g. to pass the source system or message content to an external program.
• Improved syslog over TCP receiver - offers greater compatibility and more options.
• Support for debugging complex rule bases (log file can be written).
• Interactive Syslog Server performance optimized. It can now be instructed not to scroll incoming messages as they arrive - often requested to save client machine performance.
• Support for SMTP authentication added.
• File logger does now allow concurrent reads and writes to the log file. So it can be reviewed e.g. with notepad while it is constantly being written.
• Added additional support for high traffic environments. Now runs even better with very large message bursts.
• WinSyslog Web Access allows easy syslog message browsing via the web.
• Support for Windows XP visual styles added.

WinSyslog 4.2 is a free download found at Adiscon's web site. Interested users should download and try out the version. All previous WinSyslog version 4.x keys work with the new release.
