Log monitoring in windows

Hi,

I'd like to know if there is a way to monitor a log file conitnuously for one or more strings and if found, send an alarm. It should also take care not to inlcude the old log file entries.

Thanks.

What version of Windows are you wanting to do this on? On a Vista setup you can create a custom entry for the event viewer to look for specific events.
