Log Forwarder windows opens upon login

warnerd over 8 years ago

Anyone know how to disable the Log Forwarder software from opening on the desktop upon login. Each time I login, the Log Forwarder configuration window opens and I have to click exit to close. Would like to have it running without window popping up each time.

I've never seen that behavior. Have you checked the startup/autostart options on the host? Is there a login script that could be calling it?

No autostart script. I installed the Log forwarder and configured it, now
the same configuration page pops up every time I login.

Derek,
To eliminate a Log Forwarder configuration setting as the cause, please try this:
1. Stop the SolarWinds Log Forwarder for Windows service
2. Rename the LogForwarderSettings.cfg file located in your \SolarWinds\SolarWinds Log Forwarder for Windows directory
3. Restart the service

You can right click on log forwarder system tray icon and uncheck Autostart with windows.
