Log forwarding

[srenshaw]

Is there any way to send the logs of a Win2003 server to another one ?

Look like I might have to convert them to syslog format but I would prefer that they would stay in their native format.

I did some search on that but I haven't found anything conclusive yet.

Thanks,
Simon

I do not think there is any native way of doing log forwarding in Windows Server 2003. You could check out

but you might just want to go the syslog route.

Are you looking to manage them from one system or just trying to condense your logs?

You could always acess the logs remotely via the command line

eventvwr.msc /server=X.X.X.X

robocopy is a ms command line util that is very easy to copy files, this can be used for the log files (and it will only copy changes not everything every night)

id use a script on 1 server to go and grab all the logs from the servers required and place them on a local machine.
