What is Kiwi Harvester?

Kiwi Harvester

Kiwi Harvester is a free app that's super handy! It listens for data coming in through your computer's serial interface and then turns that data into standard syslog messages. After that, it sends those messages using the UDP protocol to a central logging server like Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
