linux syslog server X Nagios

[Carroll, Jim P [PCS]]

[Please follow-up to the list in the future.]

Interesting to see the Syslog-ng Integration Tool.  Noted for 
future reference.

You're still describing two somewhat different things.  Let me
take another shot at it:

1) Syslog-ng Integration Tool will pump the syslog output into
   Nagios.  However, other than the usual Nagios functionality
   I don't think you can expect to see any gee-whiz colours or
   symbols.  Still, this looks to be a good alternative to
   using check_log, if that's what you plan to do.

2) Here are some ideas for cranking out syslog with html/colour:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/php-syslog-ng/

This one has explicit support for syslog-ng.  Other possibilities
might be found here:

Hope this gives you some ideas.

Hi Jim,
   Thank you for your information but just want to force nagios get or receive an information from one syslog server, linux syslog-ng for example, and show me this information in html format (color and symbols). 
    I found a tool and I hop it can help me to resolve this problem. I found at http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php, it was made by Mr. Merlyn Pease (Syslog-ng Integration Tool).
Ps. sorry for my english...
Thank you very much once again,
JC
