Another Windows Monitoring Option (Event Log)

[Duncan Robertson]

Hi,

I have just joined the list to keep up with nagios config ideas. keep up
the good work!

anyway, whilst looking around for ways to monitor Event Viewer stuff on
windows 2000 I found this handy service:

https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Resources/Documents/UNIX/evtsys

An excellent, simple EventViewer-->syslog converter that works very well
with the syslog-ng running on our nagios machine - with this and
"check_log" stuff in the Event Viewer should be monitorable (I am still
logging enough raw logs to collect the "alarm" strings we need).

>From reading the archives I can see others have offered snmp based
solutions, but I thought I'd just add another idea I haven't seen
mentioned. This is also handy for aggregating the logs of windows
machines anyway.
