log parsing on windows 🔗 link

Hi all,

Is it possible to monitor log files (not event viewer) under windows machines?
For example *.log files containing particular patterns (error strings…)
I'm trying Bbwin client but using central mode I'm only capable to parse event log.

Maybe someone has an external that affords this feature…

thanks in advance!

Hello,

Here a script in VBS to scan ASCII log from BBWin: 
To be modified
===============
The default error color                                  Color_KO  = "yellow"
The name of your XYMON test                              Column = "mig_log"
The path to your log file:                                       MIG_LOG = "E:\Logs\MIGFlow.log"
Test on the key word to be trapped (here ERROR):        If Mid(Line,25,5) = "ERROR" Then


Cordialement, Regards,Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

You are able to do this in central mode:

Below you can find a working example;


Entry ~/server/etc/client-local.cfg
[servername]
log:C:/temp/test.log:30720

Entry ~/server/etc/hobbit-clients.cfg
        LOG     C:/temp/test.log %red.stuf COLOR=red


Result can be found in the msgs service of that host:

<<
System logs at Fri Jan 27 15:34:30 2012

  Critical entries in C:/temp/test.log
  red.stuf

Regards, 
Jef Jagers

Hi all,

Is it possible to monitor log files (not event viewer) under windows
machines?
For example *.log files containing particular patterns (error
strings...) I'm trying Bbwin client but using central mode I'm only
capable to parse event log.

Maybe someone has an external that affords this feature...

thanks in advance!
