## Tiny Syslog Server in Python.
##
## This is a tiny syslog server that is able to receive UDP based syslog
## entries on a specified port and save them to a file.
## That's it... it does nothing else...
## There are a few configuration parameters.
LOG_FILE = 'youlogfile.log'
HOST, PORT = "0.0.0.0", 514
