Sending all logs via Syslog

[mpaters]

I have a NT4.0 server running CP 4.1 and was wondering if there is a way to send the log entrys to a syslog server as they happen.


Thanks,
Mark

Go to the Log and Alert tab in the Rulebase Properties. Change the
"User Defined Alert Command" field to read something like:

/bin/logger -p daemon.notice

By default, this should cause events tracked as "User Defined" to
be logged to /var/adm/messages or to wherever you want.

That is a nice response if you happen to be running a Unix host, but this was an NT question and the logger syntax does not seem to work.
Are there any other approuches to this?
Thanks

I wasn't very observant now was I. For NT, you could use a product such as Kiwi's sysloggen to do the same thing as logger on UNIX. Here is a link.

I’m having trouble trying to figure out how to configure the CP/FW to send the log messages directly out to the syslog daemon.
Was anyone able to get this to work?
If so, can they elaborate a little more on the configuration/settings to get the messages from the CP/FW-4.1 box into the Kiwi Syslog Daemon application?
I am running the CP/FW on a Win NT/WS, trying to shove the log report into a SQL server on another Win NT/Server box.
I can use Kiwi’s Syslog Gen to simulate sending messages to the Syslog Daemon, and it works OK for the test.
