Transfer highlight information

To deploy your highlights from a base system to others using Kiwi Log Viewer, you can use the following steps.

On your base system. Setup your desired highlights, then export them to a file using the Export button in the Highlights setup page. The export button is the one at the bottom right (Red up facing arrow). As an example, you can save your highlights to a file called HiLite-CiscoPIX.ini.

Copy this file into the Kiwi Log Viewer installation folder on the deployed systems. Usually this is C:\Program Files\Kiwi Log Viewer. You can do this via a login script or any other method you use to deploy common files to remote systems.

On the deployed systems, setup a shortcut on the desktop to Kiwi Log Viewer. Then modify the command line as follows...

"C:\Program Files\Kiwi Log Viewer\KiwiLogViewer.exe" -h "HiLite-CiscoPIX"

The -h switch allows you to specify the highlight settings to load at startup. Then when the user clicks on the shortcut, the highlights will be read in and used on the files being viewed. This allows you to create highlights centrally and roll them out to other users of Kiwi Log Viewer.
