Kiwi Harvester 1.3.0

Kiwi Harvester listens for data via the computers serial interface and converts the data received into standard syslog messages. The messages are then forwarded via the UDP protocol to a central logging server such as Kiwi Syslog Daemon.

The Kiwi Harvester allows you to integrate non-ethernet enabled devices into your central logging system.

Such devices might include:

• PBX call logging systems.
• Main frame computers.
• Remote sensing devices.
• Router console ports.

Typical uses might include:

• Forwarding of router console messages for out of band notification.
• Forwarding of PBX call records for billing purposes.
• Forwarding of messages from a remote sensing device or PLC device.
• Out of band messaging for a secure firewall. (Redirect the logging output to the serial port).
• Capturing of redirected printer output. (Printer port set to Com1).
