For the application or system logs, you could write an application that
requests change notification on the flat files, finds the delta, and
then calls ReportEvent() to log the records to the event log.

For Windows Server 2003, we have added functionality to write events to
the security log.  Look up AuthzReportSecurityEvent() in MSDN.  The same
change notification strategy applies.

I know this has already been asked once on the list, but i have a bit of
a twist.

i have a couple of applications that write flatfile logs whose name is
the date they are written (for example 20030405.log) I need an
application that can monitor the log directory for these files, and in
real time, add them to one of the event logs OR send them to a syslog
host. Either or, i don't really care, the idea being to get them to the
syslog host eventually.

I know i could write a perl script to do this, but these systems are
fairly sensitive, and i'd rather not have perl installed on the
machines.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Blaise St-Laurent
