monitoring win32 event logs - how?

[bbrendon]

i see the funtionality to monitor win32 event logs is on the home page. i've looked through the manual and have been using zabbix for a few days now, I don't see how to monitor the windows event logs.

Can i consolidate all the event logs using zabbix? does zabbix only report error logs somewhere?

tia.

ok. I got it working... sort of. found this link. http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1206

I'm getting strange results. My eventlog is FULL of these errors now!
Event ID: 32
Description: Active checks [MyGetAEventLog: start]

I was able to get 1 message from the application log and 1 from the system log, and thats it. seems there are a few kinks to work out with this eventlog.

I also downloaded logevent.exe from the resource kit to generate test events. I wasn't having a lot of luck.

After disabling the active check and changing the event log sizes, i restarted the agent and now windows reports the system event log as being corrupt.
