Summary

This tutorial demonstrates how to configure automatic log file splitting in Kiwi Syslog Server, eliminating the need for manual sorting or complex filter configurations. The feature allows administrators to automatically organize incoming syslog messages into separate files and folders based on multiple criteria including priority level, time of day, hostname, IP address, domain name, and specific message text patterns. The demonstration walks through the configuration interface, showing how to insert auto-split values into file paths and names. By implementing this capability, IT teams can create organized storage structures—such as separate folders for each IP address with daily log files—that significantly streamline troubleshooting workflows and reduce the time spent searching through consolidated log data. This approach provides a more efficient alternative to building custom filters and actions for log file management.
