Windows Eventlog Addon/Plugin published

[Rainer]

Hello Martin,

That's a very interesting idea.
I was reading the plugin examples on your site, and I think I can use it
for a idea I had the other day.
I want to monitor the 'Application' Eventlog using your plugin, and have
Nagios send me a notification when it finds an 'Error' type log from
Norton Antivirus stating it has found a virus.
The 'Event Source' is "Norton AntiVirus" and the 'Event ID' is "5".
The 'Description' is usually something like this:
"Virus Found!Virus name: W32.Klez.gen at mm in File C:\somedir\somefile.exe
by: Realtime Protection scan. Action: Clean failed : Quarantine succeeded
: Access denied".
I want the plugin to send me the event description as its $OUTPUT$.
My question is: how does your plugin keep track of which event logs were
detected? I mean, if the plugin finds an error event such as the one above
and send me a notification, will it resend the notification the next time
the plugin is run (ex. 20 minutes later)? I want it to send the
notification only the first time the event log is detected.
Could this be done?

Best regards,
