Import and export rules — Legacy

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

You can export a rule definition to a file to share with other Kiwi Syslog Server users. Other users can then import the rule definition to their servers.

Export a rule

  1. From the Kiwi Syslog Service Manager, choose File > Setup.
  2. Right-click the rule and choose Export rule.

  3. Browse to the location where you want to save the rule and click Save.

    The rule definition file is automatically given a .ksr extension, and the default file name is based on the rule name.

Import a rule

  1. From the Kiwi Syslog Service Manager, choose File > Setup.
  2. At the top of the left pane, right-click Rules and choose Import rule.

  3. Browse to the file location, select the .ksr file, and click Open.

    The imported rule is listed in the left pane at the bottom of the rules section. You can move the rule to a different position.
