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 is installed as a system service and runs on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003.
The application has a small footprint and is easily and quickly 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)
