Kiwi Syslog doesn't work with python

Hello,

I'm running into an issue where I have ActivePython installed, and I'm trying to use it with Kiwi Syslog Server, but I keep getting the same error:

Python is installed, Active python is installed.  I have tried creating a "Main()" function and a "main()" function to no avail.  My script is currently only doing the following:

def main():

     return "OK"

main()

I have tried a capitalized Main() as well.  Same error.

Any idea why this doesn't actually work?

We're considering purchasing the software, but only if we can get it to actually work with our pipeline.

Thanks in advance.

  • Found this in 9.6.7 release notes.

    Issue: User-created Python or Visual Basic scripts do not execute as expected when run on Kiwi Syslog Server. 

    Resolution:

    1. Install the Active Scripting engine for any new languages that you want to script in.
    2. Install Python for Windows Extension to access the Win32 API.
