[Xymon] Feature request for log test

[Storer, Raymond]

So, on Windows, for example, are you suggesting some sort of mapping where if the event source = "Service Control Manager" then that is a general service related thing where you'd send a generic services status message to Xymon. However, if the event source = "MySql" then you could send a status message specifically concerning MySql.

Is that the gist of this?

I haven't seen many programs take advantage of it, but application programmers can also create their own event logs, separate from the standard three in Windows.

I agree wholeheartedly. There are a handful of statuses - msgs, procs,
svcs - that bundle all kinds of services into one status. I'd like to
make this configurable so you can configure what status column the
results go into.

No code yet, but definitely something that should be done.
