Using syslog can be wonderful when debugging.

Syslog.Server

You can use the Syslog.Server tool to be the syslog server on your local host.

The following command line will start the suslog tool listening on port 514 and displaying incoming messages to the console.

"C:\Program Files\Truxton\Tools\Syslog.Server.exe"

This command file will log any messages displayed on the console to the filename you specify.

"C:\Program Files\Truxton\Tools\Syslog.Server.exe" C:\Temp\Truxton.Syslog.txt

To turn syslogging on for the ETL processes:

Add the following lines fields:

<truxton_options>
  <syslog>localhost</syslog>
  <syslogport>514</syslogport>
</truxton_options>

Start the Syslog.server management tool. You can specify a log file on the command line if you wish.
```
Syslog.server c:\temp\log.txt
```
Restart the Truxton service.
```
net start truxton
```
