using Linux for a specific Windows Event

[Hari Sekhon]

Michael,

You need to filter on the event you want at the logserver and send it as 
an email via email/winpop or whatever, this is highly dependent on what 
logserver you have. I personally think syslog-ng is great (and I use 
check_logserver from nagiosexchange.org to monitor that for you next 
question).

NTSyslog can send events from the Windows event log to the remote syslog 
server, and from there you can do whatever you want with it, store it in 
a database, send alerts off to yourself on certain events etc, it's 
entirely up to you.
