What do this agent do exactly? From what I can tell of the operation, it seems
that It looks at the whole log and lets you know how many errors there are and
when the last one occurred. Then it may be "EventLog OK" and then back to
reporting the errors again. It doesn't keep track of what errors it already
reported on; it's basically all or nothing.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=371542819-02032004>2) I
asked the Windows folks here about the logs and they mentioned that they just
let the log roll-over. So that means that once there is an error the
agent will continue to flag that error until that particular entry is
rolled-over or one manually clears the log; which is the behavior that I'm
seeing now.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

There also appears to be some problem with "(Service Check Timed Out)" and I do
not know why this is happening.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Window event viewer<BR>> <BR>> Folks,<BR>> <BR>> I was asked by
our in house Window support folks if Nagios has something =<BR>> that looks
at or monitors the log files that the Windows Event Viewer =<BR>> can see,
specifically the System Log for the Window system.<BR>> <BR>> I'm
currently using NSClient on the Window system but do not know if and =<BR>>
how I can use it to monitor the System Log for errors, etc.<BR>> <BR>>
If anybody has done this or has some information that they can point to
=<BR>> I would appreciate it. Thanks.<BR>> <BR>> Rudy<BR>>
