syslog functionality

[Bishop, Dean]

Nagios doesn't have this ability directly.  i have been using swatch and
jamming the result through a perl script and into the external command file.
 
This project that you are considering sounds interesting.  One suggestion:
try to develop it so that it can either stand on it's own or be added to
Nagios.  More people would get use of it.  
 
If it had a web front end, then adding the colour-coded entries would be as
simple as adding a link to the Nagios site.  Then all you would have to do
is find a way to get the syslog entries of interest into nagios.  If it uses
the external command file, it could stand alone.
 
What sort of clients are you looking to monitor?  Is Win* included?  There
are quite a few people looking for a good way to add this to Nagios.
 
my 2cents.  keep the change :)

Does Nagios currently have the ability to receive and associate syslogs
remotely received from servers that are being monitored within Nagios? I ask
because I am considering developing something for Nagios that could do this,
but I have not been using Nagios for long enough to know if this capability
is already there.
 
It would be nice to be able to look at syslog entries received from a remote
server when looking at a particular server detail within Nagios. And to have
it color-coded would be cool as well.
 
Is there any of this functionality currently?
