Re: Windows event log monitoring
Check out this article by community member @WillemDH:

This uses a "push" method with NSCA or NRDP and lets NSClient++ be responsible for the active checking of Windows event logs.
You can also leverage a "pull" method with check_wmi_plus which uses WMI:

You might also consider Nagios Log Server since it is a much more appropriate application for large-scale event log monitoring (it's free up to 500MB/day):
