bwlogreceiver is part of the Broadworks log collector. BroadWorks Log Collector is a set of two applications. First the bwlogsender – is an application that runs on BroadWorks nodes that via a configuration file collects logs as they are generated, formats them for transport and sends them across a compressed stream to the bwlogreceiver. The receiver then parses the logs for specific information and indexes the log into ElasticSearch

I am following "BroadWorks Dashboards and Discovery.pdf" file for installing the tools on our servers
