NLS and nsclient

Post by benhank »

Hey we have nsclient ver 4.4.23 running on our windows servers.
My question is is it possible to configure nsclient to send eventlog data to NLS, and if so how is it done?
that is how would I configure NLS imput and filters as well as the nsclient cfg file?

Additionally our NSclient cfg file points to our nagiosxi boxes.
I would like to have nsclient continue to send its data to xi, but send the eventlog info to the NLS ip.
Thanks in advance!

I've looked through the nsclient++ site and documentation but haven't found anything native to it that would send logs. I would suggest using nxlog instead to send event logs to NLS. The NLS UI has download and configuration info to set this up under Home > Windows.
