To configure an ODBC database DSN

Previous  Top  Next

Open Control Panel and then the ODBC Data Sources (32bit) applet.

Under the System DSN tab, click the Add button. (You will need to create a System DSN if you are running Kiwi Syslog Daemon as a service)

Select a driver to use (for the example databases, select Microsoft Access driver)

Pick a unique Data Source Name and enter it in the top field. (Syslogd is a good start)

Click the Select button, and then locate the desired database filename.

Click OK and then check that the DSN has been added to the list of Data Source Names.

Use this new DSN name in the DSN connect string field when setting the Log to ODBC database action.
