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. -h Michael Dalton wrote: > I have but without much or what was there didn�t really do the trick, what > would you suggest to monitor a windows event such as that? > > Thanks! > > Michael Dalton > Jr.Network Administrator | Information Technology > Centerline Capital Group > 8000 Towers Crescent Dr. Ste 550 Vienna, VA 22182 > T 703-663-5869 | M 917-280-5460 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.centerline.com > > This message is confidential and intended exclusively for the use of the > individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
