Kiwi Syslog Server

Resolution

When you install the software, SolarWinds recommends using the local administrator account.
When you set it up as a service, SolarWinds recommends using the local system account. However, this service account needs the rights and permissions to be able to write to a destination across the network.
To be able to allow logs to write to the NAS, use a domain admin account or an account created for the Syslog Server.
