Service – Debug start-up
Previous  Top  Next


Section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kiwi Enterprises\Syslogd\Options

Value (STRING): DebugStart

Enable Debug:      1
Disable Debug:    0
Type:         String

Setting this string value to "1" will enable debug for both the Service and Manager.

Command line value: DEBUGSTART

Applies to: Syslogd.exe, Syslogd_Service.exe & Syslogd_Manager.exe


Effect:
When the program is run with this registry value set to "1", a debug file is created in the install directory. The file name will depend on the executable name (see below). The debug file will contain the results from the program start-up and socket initialization routines.


Files created:
SyslogNormal = Syslogd_Startup.txt
SyslogService = Syslogd_Service_Startup.txt
SyslogManager = Syslogd_Manager_Startup.txt


When to use:
If the program does not appear to be receiving messages on the port specified on the "Inputs" setup option, check the start-up debug file to ensure the sockets initialized correctly.

If the program appears to crash on start-up, this option can help locate the problem.
