Generate Windows Event log entry at NXLOG start/stop
Hi,
is it possible to generate event log entries to Windows Event Log at the start/stop of Nxlog? At the moment start/stop events are in nxlog.log - for safety reasons it would make sense to add entries to Windows Event log if possible.
Thank you!
Currently it can be only logged into nxlog.log
and via im_internal
. There is no built-in support to write into the windows eventlog (i.e. there is no output equivalent for im_msvistalog
), though this is on the roadmap.
You could do this with om_exec
though by setting up a route with im_internal => om_exec
and have om_exec
invoke a script that writes into the eventlog. eventcreate or the Write-Eventlog powershell cmdlet can do this.
