Step 4 – Setting up the Linux Clients We still need to implement the Linux clients into our logging network. This could be Linux workstations or servers. Currently, rsyslog is already shipped with many Linux Distributions as the default syslog daemon already. Though, often a rather old version is installed (mostly v3), this will be […]
Step 3 – Setting up the other Windows Servers We already have the central server and the regular Windows clients set up. We now need to set up the other Windows servers. We assume, that we have other Windows 2008 Servers. On these servers we want to monitor the local Event Log and textfile-based log […]
Step 2 – Setting up the Windows Clients Setting up the Windows Clients is rather easy. To do this, we only need to have EventReporter installed. EventReporter will be configured to pull the Windows Event Logs and forward them to our central syslog server via TCP syslog. Our example system will be Windows XP. When […]
Step 1 – Setting up the central log server: The central log server is the most important part of our central log storage and thus will be configured as the first part. And due to all the things it needs to do, it has the most work of course. When selecting your machine to install […]

How can I get rid of control characters and linefeeds? Created 2011-02-17 by Florian Riedl Some syslog sources create strange message formats. In many cases, this is of no concern. In other cases, this can disturb reviewing logs. For example, if you are using the InterActive SyslogViewer, control characters in the message create strange placeholder […]

Massive use of memory when using TCP Article created 2011-02-01 by Florian Riedl. Due to some testing we found, that in some cases MonitorWare Agent uses a lot of memory.
