********************************************************************************** * Readme file for MRTG message DLL (mrtg.dll) SysIt(c)2003 by lrb * ********************************************************************************** This is a first edition (beta). With this DLL the annoying text in eventlog complaining about not having a message DLL will be history. The only event MRTG supports in 2.10.5 is event ID 1000. Installation: ============= 1. Copy mrtg.dll to "your path" (e.g. c:\mrtg\bin or whatever) 2. Open the file mrtg_dll.reg in a text editor (notepad) and edit the line: "EventMessageFile"="c:\\mrtg\\bin\\mrtg.dll" to your path. Remember double backslash in you path! 3. Run the mrtg_dll.reg by "double-click" 4. Change your MRTG startup line to: perl mrtg --logging eventlog That's it! ********************************************************************************** Since this is the first edition, functionality is poor, but so is the MRTG support for Windows event logging. I'm not a perl programmer, and if anyone will help expand the event log feature, please do! As far as I can see, there is no support for warnings and errors, alothow Perl eventlog function supports it. If any questions, please contact me at lrb@sysit.com Regards, Lars Rune Bjørnevik **********************************************************************************
