How to open KSR file?
The main problem with Kiwi Syslog Server Daemon Format is that the KSR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open KSR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KSR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Kiwi Syslog Server
In this case, you should first verify that the Kiwi Syslog Server application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Kiwi Syslog Server into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file KSR.
Programs to open KSR file
Remember to download programs supporting KSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kiwi Syslog Server with KSR files
If, despite the installed application, the KSR file does not start in the Kiwi Syslog Server application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KSR file with the Kiwi Syslog Server application.
Step 3. Update Kiwi Syslog Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Kiwi Syslog Server program with the Kiwi Syslog Server Daemon Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SolarWinds website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KSR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KSR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KSR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KSR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of KSR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KSR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KSR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the KSR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the KSR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the KSR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
