Ever wish you had a syslog server available so you could capture syslog messages from your network devices for analysis when troubleshooting?
The slogsrv.exe is what you need. The slogsrv.exe syslog server file is attached as slogsrv.zip
Summary:
1. Determine the IP address of your computer from a command prompt:
c:\ ipconfig /all
Take note of the computer's IP address, you will use this address shortly.
2. Run the slogsrv.exe syslog server by either double-clicking on it or running it directly from the Command Prompt.
Do not close the window that the syslog server is running in, else you will terminate the syslog server and will not log syslog messages.
Your server is now ready to receive syslog messages from network devices and will log the messages in the syslog.514.log file in the same directory that the slogsrv.exe file is located.
3. Configure your devices to send syslog messages to the IP address from #1.
4. You can view the syslog.514.log file with any text editor or send the file to your support expert for analysis.
