MaxRuleCount — Legacy

This documentation is for an unsupported version.

Use this Kiwi Syslog Server registry setting to specify the maximum number of rules allowed in Kiwi Syslog Server.

Exceeding the maximum rule count of 100 is not recommended. Setting this value too high can adversely affect performance and increase memory consumption dramatically. SolarWinds recommends investigating alternative methods if you are approaching the rule count limit of 100. Using the autosplit feature of file logging is one potential solution.
