I'm trying to get my Win servers' event logs together, as I've mentioned, which is a PITA. One of the suggestions was to port them to syslog. By coincidence, my SonicWall outputs syslog and I need to start paying attention to the logs, both for stats and troubleshooting current events. Someone else here was looking at ManageEngine (commercial), which I just downloaded for both Win and lin. It flatly refused to work under either platform so that's off the list. I tried various CLI solutions, which were mind-bogglingly complex or fairly simple. I'd prefer simple and somewhat more graphic. Sometimes I run a SonicWall dump through Wireshark, which works ok, but I might like something more specific (before having to seriously learn Wireshark). We can use commercial but we're a non-profit and prefer OS. Is there any way to do this without learning programming, regex and various other skills I will never have? I just want a syslog collector that will also display reasonable stats and help me to figure out where all the bandwidth is going when it suddenly goes sluggish. And I want to be a rock star too, ok? Thanks. -=-=- ...
