This snippet is used for legacy 9.8.3 topics that link to a KSS NG topic of the same name.

You can add an action to log messages to Papertrail, a cloud-based logging service. You can send logs from Kiwi Syslog Server, or other servers or applications that can connect to the Internet. Then monitor, search, react to, and archive your messages on Papertrail.

  1. From the Kiwi Syslog Service Manager, choose File > Setup.
  2. Add a rule, or locate an existing rule.
  3. Right-click Actions below the rule, and choose Add Action.
  4. Replace the default name with a descriptive name.
  5. From the Action menu, select Log to Papertrail (cloud).

  6. Specify the following options:

    Papertrail Destination Hostname

    Enter the location where logs are sent from a syslog server. The destination host is provided by Papertrail. For example:

    logs2.papertrailapp.com

    Papertrail Destination Port

    Papertrail provides specific port number while creating a login with Papertrail. Use the same port number to send the syslog messages. For example:

    58612
