    [HELP] Parsing .EVT to SYSLOG server

    Hi everyone!

    I am new here, and I'm definitely new to using Log Parser. This is my first time using it and I know nothing about it. I tried reading the Help file which came together with Log Parser 2.2, but wasn't able to understand it well due to my ignorance.

    Anyway, I need help parsing information of my Windows' CPU idle , remaining C:\ Hard Disk Space AND RAM space to a separated SYSlog server.

    I'm not good at SQL and here I'm desperately seeking for help if anyone can help me with the SQL queries.


    Please help me someone! My deadline for this project is catching up! :'(

    Deepest Thanks to all!

    I assume you need to do this for SOX? Either way, a better approach would be to use this:

    Hi Joelangley!

    Thanks for your reply! Greatly appreciated!

    Currently I'm handling on a project that requires me to parse the Windows System CPU idle + RAM and C:\ space over to a 3rd party program that will help me monitor these logs and information.

    How do I generate CPU idle , RAM and C:\ space available into event logs in system? I am thinking of parsing the Windows' information over to my Solaris Syslog server and working on it in from Soloaris.

    I've looked at the Eventlog to Syslog Utility, but it doesn't support Windows XP and I'm am operating from a Windows XP box.

    Do you think there are alternatives to this?

    Thanks for helping, I'm currently learning to work between Windows and Solaris. ^^

    Hi,

    You can write SQL query to extract the data from event log(or use -i:EVT) and use -o:SYSLOG to output them in Syslog format.

    In log parser's help document, there is a perfect sample on this. Please open it and search for "SYSLOG Output Format Examples"

     Thanks.
