Log file content monitoring on client server

Hey, I have to monitor the content of one file over client server(i.e, Windows Server) through Nagios Core. How could I do it.

Please help.

I honestly would not use Nagios Core as a method of log file monitoring.

You could look at using the free license of Nagios Log Server, it is a much better monitoring application for log files.

Yeah ... But is there a way to get the monitoring done by using Core... If you could help me in this it will be great

This is the only way I know how:

https://docs.nsclient.org/reference/check/CheckLogFile/

However the method is something I just can't recommend. It would be worth your time to invest in running up a Nagios Log Server to do the monitoring, Nagios Core just isn't suited for log file monitoring.
