Overview - Getting Started

By default when Kiwi Syslog Daemon is installed it contains a single Rule that has no Filters. This means that all syslog messages that arrive are processed by the Actions in this Rule. The Rule contains two separate Actions: a "Display" Action which displays all information received to Display00 'in real time'; and a "Log to File" Action. This Action logs all the information to a file called "SyslogCatchall.txt" which is located in the \Logs directory of your Kiwi Syslog installations folder.

This is a very basic initial setup for Kiwi Syslog Daemon. If this Rule is turned off or deleted, no messages will be displayed or logged to file.

To manage your syslog messages, you can create further filters and actions that will allow you to process the messages to your own requirements.
