Interactive Syslog Server options
Message Buffersize
The message buffer size (in number of messages) to be used for real-time display. This is the maximum number of messages to be stored in memory. If this number is reached and a new message arrives, the oldest one is deleted from memory.
Interactive Syslog Port
The UDP port the real-time display listens to. Zero is default from system services database. Most installations can leave it at 10514.
Resolve RealSource
If enabled then it would resolve the IP address and display the real source name e.g. any workstation, firewall, router etc. For example, the IP address of the source (named as Test01) was 192.16.1.0 after enabling this option it would display Test01 instead of the IP address.
Allow multiple instances
If enabled, it allows you to run the InteractiveSyslogServer in more than one instance.
File Basename
The File Basename also includes the file path. An example could be "C:\temp\MWAgent".
File Extension
The File Extension is "txt" by default. This opens the files automatically in the default text viewer.
Create unique filenames
If enabled, the Interactive Syslog Server builds a unique filename each day containing the year, month and day. An example would be "Syslog-2002-01-01.txt".1

The Interactive Syslog Server is multilingual by design. Select the user interface language here. Languages are set on a per user basis. They can be switched instantly without the need to restart!
