Operating Systems Linux Reading syslog messages from windows server Post 302248809 by Smiling Dragon on Sunday 19th of October 2008 07:12:59 PM

Syslog can send syslog events to local files or a remote syslog server. If you can find a windows plugin that accepts network syslog events and turns them into windows events, you'd be able to do this.

When syslog is writing to local files (see your syslog.conf file for whiat events go to which files), it creates them as plain-text. You can either log onto the unix server and look at the file (via something like cat, less or more) or you can configure samba to share the log directory as a windows share.

syslog

SYSLOG(8)                                                         System Logging                                                         SYSLOG(8)

NAME

       syslog-ng, syslogd

DESCRIPTION

       There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd

       The  first  installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
       But this depends on the software selection during the installation.

       The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
       SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.

       The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.

       The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
