[nv-l] ? about monitoring event logs on Windows 200x

["Glen Warn" <Glen.Warn@pemcocorp.com>]

Hi,

 

Running 7.1.4 FP3 on Redhat AS 2.1.  Would like to know if anyone has a way (without buying extra S/W) to monitoring Windows event logs for certain events - then send a trap on them?  If not, are there favorites for shrink wrapped event log monitor solutioins? 

 

Second question, I've seen several good threads on monitoring services using servmon - but I need to monitor some services that don't "listen" on a specific port.  I know I can query for services and running state, but I'm a very low skilled coder and am unsure how to create logic that would ID a specific service, and detect that it is NOT active.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
