Bluecoat proxy log

Post by riconeo »

Looking at the above url contents.

Does anyone know how to or what is the command required to read the bluecoat logs using nxlog windows client?

Thanks.

Do you have the bluecoat logs on a Windows Server, or are they being sent directly to Nagios Log Server? Have you followed any of the instructions you linked? I do not understand why nxlog is in the equation.

Hi,

i am refering to the bluecoat proxy access logs which cannot be send directly to nagios log server.

For the proxy event logs, it can be send via syslog but not the access logs.

Kindly correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks.

Regards,

I haven't worked with Bluecoat logs before, but if the logs are capable of being sent to a TCP/UDP port (through a stream, file, or otherwise), Nagios Log Server won't have a problem picking them up.
