ncpa - monitor extended windows logs

Post by veehexx »

How do you get the ncpa agent to report on the extended windows logs? Specifically content within the 'Applications and Services Logs'.

Upto now we've used nrpe check_eventlog & '"file=Microsoft-Exchange-HighAvailability/Monitoring" filter=id=1011' which will monitor some specific Exchange logs, but i cannot find a way to do this in NCPA (atleast via the webUI ncpa api method).

Thanks for reaching out, in research on this, we see that there are some plugins that you could use or the option to use a PowerShell script to send a command to your Windows to 'Get-EventLog -LogName <the_log_name>'. Here is an example of a plugin:
The option to use a PowerShell script as an example would look like this, please scroll down to Powershell example here.

Thanks,
