Seq Forwarder

Seq Forwarder was recently announced. We're in the process of moving its source code to this repository, which we expect to complete by the end of June 2016. Until that work is complete, things may churn a bit here.

Building

Visual Studio 2015 is required. While migrating from our internal CI no scripted build is set up yet - just build the solution in Release mode and grab the resulting binaries.

Debugging

F5 will work, but you will need to either run the install command (see below) to create an HTTP namespace reservation, or run as Administrator (on Windows).

Deployment

The outputs from Seq.Forwarder and Seq.Forwarder.Administration (if required) projects can be XCOPY-deployed.

Setup

Run Seq.Forwarder.Administration.exe to install the forwarder, or check out the command-line for scripted setup.
