I wrote my own event log management plugin because I didn't find one that I 
liked. You can download it as part of the Sourceforge tntnagiosplugins project. 
It should work with NSClient++ (although admittedly I am not testing against 
that).

It reports critical and warning events on the specified host (it will exclude a 
number of events that are known to be harmless, for instance DCOM 10009 and 
about a dozen or so other ones).

The "top ten events" seems like interesting functionality, but doesn't really 
fit very well into the Nagios philosophy. Nagios can ultimately only 
distinguish between OK, WARNING, CRITICAL. There are better tools for 
statistical analysis.

The collection of plugins also contains a separate plugin that reports on login 
errors.

I have tried several times over the past year but never managed to get the 
check_eventlog working. If you have any success do tell us about it

Subject: [Nagios-users] effective use of NSClient++ Eventlog management

Dear all,

We are moving from pnsclient to NSclient++ for all our windows client. We would 
like to use the Event log management available with NSClient++.

We would like to do the following (if it is feasible)

Top Ten events in all the clients overall.
Critical Event IDs on any server: We are looking for only the critical event 
ID's (like a AD account lockout event ID etc) to be captured and reported to 
the nagios server.

Have anybody started using this eventlog management effectively and what are 
your way of putting it in place.

Cheers
Keshav
