Event Reporter seems to work very well with sending NT Event Logs to a UNIX
syslog server, and is fairly cheap ($29US). Combine that with syslog-ng on
UNIX and you have a very good replacement for the NT Event Viewer and
regular UNIX syslog.

Subject: WinNT event viewer --> syslogd

Hi guys,
I have a basic question regarding the WinNT 4.0 event viewer.
We have a couple of Linux systems here in our site which run the syslogd
and have their logs checked automatically and reported any odds per
email. I also have some WinNT 4.0 WS acting as backup/file servers
sitting in a corner pretty unattended. Now I want them to report their
event messages (like security vialotions ...) which go normally to the
event viewer to one of my syslogd's on a linux system to be checked
automatically as well. As far as I found out there is no feature in NT
to do that.
Is it possible to implement at all, has anybody experience with that?
Is there any additional SW necessary? (any source, freeware, comercial
...)?
I basically just want to avoid having to walk over to check them
manually which is most of the time very unfrequent.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Gerry
