SolarWinds Kiwi Syslog Server Pricing

SolarWinds^® Kiwi Syslog^® Server is licensed per installation as a perpetual license. This means you can install Kiwi Syslog Server on a machine of your choice, and you have the right to use the Kiwi Syslog Server license indefinitely for an unlimited number of devices—routers, switches, firewalls, servers, etc.

For the first year after purchase, maintenance is included—you can take advantage of SolarWinds 24/7 support and get access to version upgrades. After the end of the first year, you have the option to purchase yearly ongoing maintenance and support for an additional fee.

There are three main reasons why our customers use more than one installation:

Scalability

Each Kiwi Syslog Server can support the processing of up to two million log messages per hour. If you ever need to accommodate even larger volumes of messages, you can add additional installations of Kiwi Syslog Server and balance the load accordingly.

Distributed Deployment

If your company is monitoring the logs of multiple clients (as in the case of an MSP) or if your company has several locations of its own, you may want to install a separate Kiwi Syslog Server at each physical location. Each installation can then store logs and generate alerts locally, and they can filter out the unnecessary noise of unimportant messages before forwarding the more critical logs to a centralized Kiwi Syslog Server for consolidation.

High Availability

Many customers choose to purchase additional Kiwi Syslog Server installations to enable redundancy and failover of log collection on alternate servers for business continuity purposes and to help ensure retention of critical logs.

The easiest way to purchase a Kiwi Syslog Server license is to buy it online with a credit card. After the purchase, you’ll receive an email with a link to download the software; a link to the Installation Guide, Getting Started Guide, and Administrator Guide; and access to the SolarWinds Success Center for further support.

If you prefer different ways of purchase, you can request a quote or contact our sales support directly at kiwisales@solarwinds.com.

Kiwi Syslog Server offers a fully functional free trial for 14 days. Upon downloading the evaluation software, you’ll be provided with access to a host of information made available in the SolarWinds Success Center, which will help you get up and running with the product. If you have any issues during your evaluation, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to help!

After the trial period ends, you can continue to use the free edition of Kiwi Syslog Server with limited features (compare editions) without purchasing a license. Alternatively, you can enter a license key to access the full features in the licensed edition.

Licensed SolarWinds products include one year of product maintenance from the date of purchase. Maintenance gives you access to 24/7 support and allows you to upgrade the product with each new release as it becomes available.
