Log file monitoring for BBWin

[Storer, Raymond]

You might check Microsoft Log parser.
You can download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=890cd06b-abf8-4c25-91b2-f8d975cf8c07&displaylang=en

This Microsoft support article gives an example of its usage:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910447

If you want to script the included logparser.dll check these out:

You can use it on pretty much any text file and even the Windows event logs themselves. Use your favorite Internet search engine and you will find volumes of information on this very useful tool.

Hi.

The same thing as the log file monitoring in the Linux client for Xymon. Matching patterns in log file of choice, and triggering a specified color.

What sort of log file are you trying to monitor? What sort of things are you wanting this monitoring to do or report?

Hi.

We want to monitor some log files on Windows (not Event log) and need to create a script for that. But before I start digging into powershell, I would like to check if someone has created a logfile monitoring script for BBWin and would like to share it?

Best regards,
Johan
