Command line value
DEBUGSTART
Applies to
Syslogd.exe, Syslogd_Service.exe & Syslogd_Manager.exe
Effect
When the program is run with this registry value set to "1", a debug file is created in the install directory. The file name will depend on the executable name (see below). The debug file will contain the results from the program start-up and socket initialization routines.
Files created
SyslogNormal = Syslogd_Startup.txt
SyslogService = Syslogd_Service_Startup.txt
SyslogManager = Syslogd_Manager_Startup.txt
When to use
If the program does not appear to be receiving messages on the port specified on the "Inputs" setup option, check the start-up debug file to ensure the sockets initialized correctly. If the program appears to crash on start-up, this option can help locate the problem.
