Without knowing what your DHCP servers are, it will be hard to provide advice. However, the install wizards on the Nagios Log Server will be a great place to start if your DHCP servers are standalone OS-based units.

If they're routers, then you need to configure your router logging mechanisms to send logs to the NLS using the tools built in to your router OS.

Thanks for jumping in, Eric!

tcsdi, if you could get us more information about the DHCP server, we can certainly help you in getting it to log to Log Server.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your response, Our DHCP servers are Windows Servers.

We tried the nxlog for windows but can't get the desired output.
We would like the logs to include these:
DHCP Client IP (192.168.1.12)
DHCP Client MAC Address (ab:cd:ef:12:34:56)
DHCP Client Hostname (Employee-Workstation)
DHCP Action (DHCPACK, DHCPREQUEST, DHCPOFFER, DHCPDISCOVER)

Best Regards,
TCSDI

It looks like there's a Powershell script on the Exchange to monitor DHCP scopes. You may be able to modify this to get any additional information that you're looking for.
