Nagios Support Forum

Dear all
I have a NAgios Core ( ver 4.0.8 ) to monitorazing my host and services.Now I wanto to monitorize also a log file .
I will need a second host with Nagios Log Server or update the first one , I means its possible to have boot with just one Nagios Server.
Best Regards

You should not run Nagios Core on the same server that you have Nagios Log Server installed on. It -might- work, but this is not tested by us, nor is it supported.

Thanks for your return.
Just a queston : does Nagios Core cans manage log files as the Nagios Log Server ?

No, Nagios Core uses passive and active check results, generally coming from an agent/plugin. Nagios Log Server is a product that receives all of your log files, stores them, alerts on them, and makes it easy to search through them.

So, the question is , can I monitore the event log from windows machine with the Nagios Core ?
Regards

You can, but Nagios Log Server will be better at this task. For Nagios Core, you will want to look at the link in this document: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/T ... os/details
