Windows Event Monitoring & Forwarding
This happens under seldom circumstances, if the following things are true: EventReporter and WinSyslog are running on the same machine.

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this questions. However, we have learned that in the majority of cases on of the following issues is causing the problem: Check the facility EventReporter is using when sending messages By default, EventReporter sends to the LOCAL_0 facility.

We are operating Sybari’s Antigen anti-virus product. We would like to see virus notifications at our central syslog daemon. Can EventReporter help in this case? Definitely yes. EventReporter can forward Antigen’s virus notifications to the syslog daemon. Sybari’s product can write notifications to the NT event log. This is where EventReporter can pick them up […]
EventReporter writes standard syslog messages. Our customers use a variety of Unix flavors and we have never had any complaints of incompatibilities with any daemon (well, except for some bugs in very early stages of the product). So we are pretty sure the product will run flawlessly with your syslogd.
We need to display double byte character sets like Japanese (SJIS) or Chineese. However, these messages are not correctly received at our syslog daemon. EventReporter 5.0 supports double byte character sets. However, all versions earlier then 4.2 do not properly support them. If you experience problems with these versions, you need to upgrade to a […]
