NSClient++ can, yes.

*shrug*  This was like a year ago or so...  If he's busy, that's
fine and understandable.  Just *say* so, don't just ignore your
users, especially when they're trying to point out problems.
I'm not mad at the guy or anything, his software just wasn't
usable for me.

I have to correct myself - I use Consol.de's check_logfiles.exe
for my event log stuff.  My bad - I found the built-in NSClient++
eventlog stuff a bit cumbersome.

Lausser has been great in helping as well as adding features and
fixing bugs.  Sorry for the confusion with NSClient++...  I use
NSClient++ to execute check_logfiles.exe on the remote clients.
