Hello Sebastian,<br>
<br>
thanks for your kind reply.<br>
<br>
The serial output is a string formatted as a csv file:<br>
DD/MM/YY,HH:MM:SS,USER,EVENT<br>
<br>
The converter should send this string to the host.<br>
<br>
Here is a screenshot of the converter setup:<br>

<br>
If the string is appended to a text file, I could view it with Apache,
or later import it in an XLS or mySQL table.<br>
<br>
regard,<br>

When it receives data from the serial port, it can call a host that is

How does it "call" that host? What kind of data does it provide?

Currently, collectd supports writing data to RRD and CSV files. How do
you expect the text files to look like? What is your use case? What kind
of data do you want to store?

Depending on your answers for the questions above, this _might_ be an
option ... ;-)
