Can windows send syslog messages

Hi All,

Would any one know how to configure windows to send syslog messages? is it possible for windows to send syslog messages as routers, firewall does.

Also could oracle & sql databases send syslog messages.

Please let me know

Thanks
SJK

Yes, it is possible.

check these:

A search in google for [windows + service_name + remote + syslog] will yield even more results

If you encounter any problem with the implementation, please let us know

Thanks for your reply but what about oracle & sql ? is it is possible for them to send syslog messages?

Please let me know.

thanks

Truth is I don't know of any database server that has intergrated the feature of forwarding his logs to remote servers. Of course if forwarding to the local logging facility of windows i.e. was supported, you could then sent them to a syslogd. But about oracle, I am pretty sure the massive "redo log files" can not be handled by an external log facility. I think that mssql also does not support passing logs to external facility as it comes with it's own comprehensive auditing tools.

Perhaps someone else here knows from first-hand
