WinSyslog 4.0 Final Released

Erftstadt, 2002-03-07.

Adiscon today announced the immediate availability of WinSyslog 4.0 final release. 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 servers - a single WinSyslog instance can now run multiple syslog servers, each one listening to different ports.
• TCP support - syslog messages can now also be received via TCP.
• Multiple Rule Bases - each syslog server instance can have a specific rule base assigned.
• Large Burst Support - WinSyslog has a unique high performance engine that guarantees message buffering during even during the most extreme burst traffic.
• Many more Filter Conditions - 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 Interactive Server 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.
• Improved documentation - now available as an easy to use Windows help file. Also includes step-by-step guides for configuring many devices. Also available online in PDF format.
