Using Remote Syslog to download sensor data
Another way to get and log all the data in real time from the unit is use the remote syslog on the
unit.
You can use the remote system log feature to push out the sys log in real time to a remote server,
or PC, then this information can be imported into a data base or other program.
There are two types of third party remote syslog utilities that we recommend. One is "rsyslog" and
the other "Kiwi" remote syslog.
There is no MS-Windows version of rsyslog and there is no GNU/Linux version of Kiwi.
So, we recommend rsyslog for the GNU/Linux users and the Kiwi for the users of the Microsoft
operating systems.
Either can be dlownloaded from these links below:
http://www.rsyslog.com
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/kiwi-syslog-daemon-download/
You can install and open the Kiwi Syslog program and set the UDP in the Input settings like in the
screen shot shown below:
Now you would set the Remote Syslog in the sensorProbe. The Remote Syslog IP Address is the
IP address of the PC that has the Kiwi Remote syslog program running on it. The Remote Syslog
Port is the same port on the Remote syslog program.
It should be showing you the syslog in real time and any entry that is logged in the unit, should
shown on your server. You can also export the data to a text file.
