MailAdditionalBodyText

This documentation is for legacy Kiwi Syslog Server versions 9.8.3 and older.

Use this Kiwi Syslog Server registry setting to include an additional line of text in the daily statistics and alarm e-mails. If you are receiving daily statistics or alarm e-mails from many syslog Servers, it can be useful to include a way of identifying which syslog Server the e-mail came from.

Section (32-bit Windows OS)	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Syslogd\Properties
Section (64-bit Windows OS)	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node\SolarWinds\Syslogd\Properties
Value (STRING)	MailAdditionalBodyText
Default value	Blank
Type	Text string

In the registry setting, add a line of text that best describes the name or location of the syslog Server. The text will be added to the beginning of the e-mail body.

For example, a normal statistics e-mail looks like this:

/// Kiwi Syslog Server Statistics ///
---------------------------------------------------
24 hour period ending on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:04:55 +1300
Syslog Server started on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:03:54
Syslog Server uptime: 24 hours, 0 minutes
---------------------------------------------------

+ Messages received - Total: 20000
+ Messages received - Last 24 hours: 20000

If you set the MailAdditionalBodyText setting to London - Firewall Monitoring Syslog Server, the daily statistics e-mail will look like this:

London - Firewall Monitoring Syslog Server


/// Kiwi Syslog Server Statistics ///
---------------------------------------------------
24 hour period ending on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:04:55 +1300
Syslog Server started on: Fri, 06 Feb 2004 13:03:54
Syslog Server uptime: 24 hours, 0 minutes
---------------------------------------------------

+ Messages received - Total: 20000
+ Messages received - Last 24 hours: 20000

An additional CRLF is added before and after the text for better visibility.

You can also add additional subject text.
