Traverse can be set up to watch for patterns in syslog files using the method described above for text files. All UNIX platforms have a native syslogd daemon for receiving syslog messages (you can forward these to another host or write these syslog messages to a text file. See syslog.conf on your UNIX server.
On a Windows platform (which lacks a native syslog listener), you should create a syslogd source since Traverse has a built-in syslog listener:
<message-handler>
<source type="syslogd" name="default">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<port>514</port>
<!-- optional output file (disabled)-->
<!-- <outputFile>C:\syslog.txt</outputFile> -->
</source>
</message-handler>
This will use the internal Java syslog implementation to receive syslog messages on the default syslog UDP port 514.
