+ The default configuration requires a MonitorWare schema. To do this, you

+ It is really easy. Simply run the following command in your shell. Be sure
+ that the mysql user you are using have permission to create a database.
+ mysql -u username -p < /path/to/createDB.sql
+ Enter the password if requested. The database "Syslog" with the necessary
+ tables is created.
+ If you would like to use a different schema, you can do so ;) Just create
+ your schema and database and then create a matching template in syslog.conf.
+ See sample.conf for a description on how templates work.
