Introduction: Kiwi Harvester is a free application that listens for data via the computer's 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 include: PBX call logging systems, main frame computers, remote sensing devices and router console ports. Kiwi Harvester has a small footprint and can be quickly and easily configured via an ini text file. The purpose of the Kiwi Harvester is to enable non-ethernet and non syslog capable devices to send their notification messages to a central logging server such as Kiwi Syslog Daemon. 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) Here are some key features of "Kiwi Harvester": · Accepts input from network devices via a comm port · Forwards messages via UDP · Configurable via ini file · Runs as service · Supports comm port speeds from 300 to 115200 bps
