Some clarification needed with syslog

Hi all,

Continuing with the EventLog evaluation (on Linux) I came across two issues while creating new hosts:

- Is there any way of creating a host which goes to the WindowsGroup? In my particular evaluation scenario, all our windows boxes have a syslog client and act as a Un*x system, but we'd like to have them in the WindowsGroup just to tailor their syslog messages accordingly while defining alerts.

- Why the Eventlog Server needs to connect to the syslog daemons of the remote hosts? I'd thought the hosts will be sending via syslog their collected messages to the central EventLog server. Don't see why the opporsite is needed.

Any shed light on this would be appreciated.

Thx for your great support.

Regards,

Josep
