Windows Event log: enhancement

[NOB]

Hi

I am enhancing the windows agent in the area of windows eventlog monitoring.
My ideas can be found here.

I want to leave the old implementation (item eventlog) in the agent to avoid compatibility problems.
But I am not sure what the implications are by adding a new item eventlog-ng (TM)
Is it sufficient to just change the agent or do I have to change something
on the server part, too ?

I did some experiments and it seems to work very well but I can't use
a different name than "eventlog". So, for me it seems like either I have a bug in my agent or that the name is hardcoded in the server, somewhere.
At first sight I couldn't find a relation to the server code.
So it can be a bug I introduced in the agent.

Having somebody from the developers verify what must be changed - if at
all - on the server side would be very nice.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Norbert.

Hi

I found the culprit: src/zabbix_server/trapper/trapper.c

Why, oh why is the item hard coded in that file ?
There should be a better way of telling the server, which fields are filled with data, e.g. a type of data or a bitmap as used in other software.

Problem solved, agent updated.

Maybe asking the developers to explain how to include our own plugins could be a good idea, since i saw something in the code referencing to plugins!!!
