Use log_rcv to collect syslog from players

log_rcv.exe is a simple tool helping you to collect syslogs from SMP players. You can find this program in the product CD (\Tool\log receiver).

  1. Copy this file to your hard-drive, and double click it.
    Note
    1. DO NOT run the program log_rcv.exe directly in the CD.
    2. If you install SuperReporter, the system will install log-rcv.exe automatically.
  2. Please set the SMP player's syslog server IP address as your PC's IP address.
  3. Log_rcv.exe will start to receive the log messages from SMP players and display the results on your PC's screen.
  4. After log records are collected, Log_rcv.exe will generate 3 folders automatically, which are log, billing, and content_update. Each day, all collected log files from every player in that day will be saved in a subfolder which is named after the date.
    log All the log records are stored on a daily basis and each host has its own files.
    billing All playback log records are stored here for billing information. Each host has its own billing log file.
