VSoftSol Syslog Manager v1.1.2 Latest

Released October 7, 2026

New installation first time on this server

Installs the ASP.NET Core 8 Hosting Bundle for you if it is missing — it is built into this file, so it works on a server with no internet access — and then installs the product.

RequirementsWindows Server 2019 or later, or Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit).
Install asDouble-click it; Windows asks for administrator approval.

Update already installed

The small file: installs over your existing install and keeps your data. Needs the Hosting Bundle already present, which any existing install has.

Install asAdministrator (right-click the file → Run as administrator, or run it from an elevated prompt).

Heads-up: these installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows may show “Unknown publisher” or a SmartScreen warning. Compare the SHA-256 above with your download (certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256) before running.

What’s new

  • Two separate downloads: one to update, one for a new installation. The new-installation file brings its own .NET prerequisite; the update file stays small. Either can do the other’s job where the prerequisite is already present. The application itself is unchanged from v1.1.1.
  • The product version is now defined in one place, so the installer and the bundle can no longer disagree.

How to update an existing install

  1. Download the update file above and, if you like, compare its SHA-256 with the value shown (certutil -hashfile VSoftSolSyslogManagerUpdate-1.1.2.msi SHA256).
  2. Run it as Administrator directly over your existing install — there is no need to uninstall first.
  3. The service is stopped and restarted automatically. Expect a brief gap in collection (seconds to low tens of seconds); schedule the upgrade outside your busiest period if that matters, since a long gap can drop UDP datagrams.

Your database (events, streams, rules, alerts, dashboards, reports, users, audit log), data directory, HTTPS certificate, and listener-port overrides are all preserved.

Tip: before any upgrade you can take an extra safety copy with Settings → Config bundles → Export (rules, streams, devices, users, dashboards, reports, parser packs), or copy the whole data directory while the service is stopped.

Syslog Manager release history

v1.1.2LatestOctober 7, 2026See above

See the release notes above.

v1.1.1September 23, 2026Show notes
  • Fixed: exporting a config bundle. Settings → Config bundles → Export returned an error page.
  • Fixed: “Run now” report downloads and the first-run “Waiting for messages” page, which hit the same underlying error.
  • Fixed: the installer’s .NET Runtime check, which reported the Hosting Bundle as missing on every machine even when it was installed.
  • Groundwork for opt-in, signature-verified update checks (Settings → Updates). Automatic checking is not active in this release — update by running the Update file.
  • The product’s internal version number now matches its release version.
v1.1.0September 15, 2026Show notes
  • TOTP MFA enforced at sign-in. Enabling MFA on an account now actually changes what signing in requires — a code or unused recovery code, with its own rate limit.
  • Live UDP/TCP listener port changes. Change either port in Settings → Listeners and it applies immediately, with no restart.
  • Saved extractors are applied at ingest, including for devices with no built-in vendor pack.
  • Reports say when a query failed instead of looking like an empty report.
  • Exact “would have fired” alert preview for every alert type.
v1.0.0September 12, 2026Show notes
  • Universal syslog collection (RFC 3164/5424) plus TLS syslog, SNMP traps, and a Windows Event Log forwarder endpoint.
  • 17 vendor parser packs and a Pattern Tester for your own.
  • Search language, rules and alerts, dashboards, and scheduled PDF/CSV reports including compliance templates.
  • Hot/warm/cold retention with verified archives, role-based access, TOTP MFA enrollment, audit log, and signed configuration bundles.
  • MSI installer with a five-step first-run wizard.
