Hello,
I've been looking around and have not found anything so far to answer my question so I figured I would post and hope someone can help.
We have NPM, and APM. I am looking for a way to alert (email) off of a log event, that does not get written to the system log. The Application is a windows service that fires off some java code and a log file is generated. I tried to open this file "scheduler.log" in the windows event viewer, but it said the file is already in use. We use the Solarwinds log forwarder, but from what I can tell it only grabs the event viewer logs. Is there a way to add what is forwarded? Is there another product that would cover this senario?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Shane
Snare Epilog is a free tool that converts text file entries to syslog messages:

I haven't used it yet, but it's on my list of things to research.
I was able to implement Epilog and get what I needed. Thanks. I do think it would be great if Solarwinds could implement some additional options for log forwarding. Grab another folder or grab a list of files and forward them to the syslog server.
