Perl Script - Kiwi Syslog

Kevin_Holleran — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:03:30 GMT

I am confused by the perl script at the end of the UserID API Integration document.

This line:

$string= Fields.VarCleanMessageText; #Kiwi syslog variable for message text

I am not getting anything from this field. What do I have to do to set this up?

Thanks.

Kevin

Nevermind, I figured out where to launch the script from in Kiwi.

Unfortunately, this did not work for me. After working with Kiwi support (which was completely useless) I gave up on them and went a different direction. My script runs scheduled & farms the log files, parsing out what i need then calling the PA UID API to pass it on.

So I am not longer using that line to pull data from kiwi. This is probably better anyway as the script is called once a minute rather than every time a log entry comes in...

sorry I can't be more help.
