Initial Setup of Kiwi Syslog Daemon
Previous  Top  Next


Kiwi Syslog Daemon is designed to be as flexible and as easy to use as possible. For this reason it is extremely easy to initially setup.

To setup Kiwi Syslog Daemon all you need to do is install the application in the desired location on your system. By default it will listen for syslog messages that are sent to UDP port 514.

For the basic configuration no further setup is required.

To have Kiwi Syslog Daemon receive syslog messages you will need to configure your sending network devices to send their information to the IP address of the system that Kiwi Syslog Daemon is installed on.

Instructions on how to configure most devices can be found in the Configuring syslog enabled devices section.

If you have a device that sends syslog messages that is not listed in this section then please send the setup information to http://www.kiwisyslog.com/support/ for inclusion in the next help file release.
