English/dutch Sensor problems

Hi Shara,

The trick here is to get the right name of the eventlog and the eventlog source. Looking at the eventlog entry should give you some hints.

I would go for "Toepassing" as the name of the eventlog and the text that is displayed where is says "Bron:" as the name of the eventlog source.

Regards,

Well the problem is iv already tryed to use the term "Toepassing" as eventlog and as souch iam using Backup(this is the same in english as in dutch)

iam sure iam using the right term on each server the problem is iam getting the message that the eventlog cannot be found on the targeted PC

Please run the sensor from the commandline, providing the -l switch. This will produce a comma seperated list of eventlog names for the target PC.

Eventlogreader -c=mycomputer -l

Regards,

now iam going to ask a dump question i guess my sensor is a .exe file how can i run it from commandline?

Hi Share,

I was under the assumption that you were using the EventlogReader sensor downloaded from the Google Code project. Sorry for the confusion.

Regards,

ur not thinking wrong iam using that one but iam kinda new to the whole process of custom sensors i have tryed to figgure it out myself but iam just compleetly stuck on this matter

Ok, no problem, open a command (cmd) window and navigate to the location where you placed the Custom Censor.

You could copy the Custom Sensor to c:\temp for testing, open the command window and type:

cd c:\temp

Next, in your command window, type

Eventlogreader.exe -c=mycomputer -l

Where "mycomputer" is the name or IP of the computer you are targeting This should produce a comma seperated list of eventlog names from that computer.

Regards,

cmd gives me this Response not wellformed: "Active Directory Web Services,Toepassing,DFS Replication,Directoryservice,DNS-server,File Replication-service,Hardwaregebeurtenissen,Internet Explorer,Key Management Service,MSExchange Management,Beveiliging,Systeem,Windows PowerShell "

and if i try the sensor then it gives me the same error like before

if i put the same parameters in the sensor as i did in cmd it gives me

Response not wellformed: "Active Directory Web Services,Toepassing,DFS Replication,Directoryservice,DNS-server,File Replication-service,Hardwaregebeurtenissen,Internet Explorer,Key Management Service,MSExchange Management,Beveiliging,Systeem,Windows PowerShell "

aswell

Ok, so the name of your eventlog is "Toepassing"

If you contact me directly, we can do this in Dutch and exchange some screenshots.
