Re: Win32 text logging

[Andy Smith]

Unless there are any objections I am going to change the installer 
script to use text logging by default. I think there are enough 
instructions in the README for those who would rather use an alternative 
logging method to register the service manually. I would like to keep 
the log file in the Net-SNMP usr tree. No need to litter outside of the 
environment by default. How does [drive:]\var\log\snmptrapd.log sound?

another application. IMO text file logging is a better option, but 
others may disagree. I have looked into cleaning up the message file 
in the past, but if anyone else has some insight into the Windows 
event log it would be appreciated.

Mike mentioned bug 926389 in another email that explains the problem 
with the event log.  I think it would be a good idea to default to a 
text log in the 'Register Trap Service' batch file.  c:/snmptrapd.log 
is fine with me.  It would be nice to disable the event log too as a 
default..

event log isn't ready for prime time.  bug # 926389 has a patch, but
it won't help the command generator applications.
Text file logging works universally well.  I second that choice when
picking nice settings to include when registering snmpd/snmptrapd !
