Well, the problem I've been having with our syslog service is that although it accepts messages, it stops logging them or evem displaying them. I had it checking the syslog port as well the service (or is it process? I forget) but both would check out ok, even though nothing was working. That's why I'm going the route I plan on trying - to make a more definitive method of checking to make sure it's actually doing it's job.

Ultimayely what I plan on doing is setting up a loop - IE sa sends a syslog event to kiwi and then sa will check kiwi's log via a webpage that I built that looks at the last logged IsAlive event and compares it to the current time. It will spit out "syslog alive" or "syslog dead" - I haven't done it yet, but it seems the easiest way to ensure the syslogd is up. If you'd like I can send you a more detailed solution including the .asp page I use when I've built it. -------------------------- Jeremy D.

I have salive set to report it's up's and downs to syslog on port 514 (all works well). Can I set salive to check to see if syslog is running??? This is on a win98se box.
