.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(1) suite\&.

.PP
\fBeventlogadm\fR is a filter that accepts formatted event log records on standard input and writes them to the Samba event log store\&. Windows client can then manipulate these record using the usual administration tools\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
\fB\-d\fR
The \fB\-d\fR option causes \fBeventlogadm\fR to emit debugging information\&.

.TP
\fB\-o\fR addsource \fIEVENTLOG\fR \fISOURCENAME\fR \fIMSGFILE\fR
The \fB\-o addsource\fR option creates a new event log source\&.

.TP
\fB\-o\fR write \fIEVENTLOG\fR
The \fB\-o write\fR reads event log records from standard input and writes them to theSamba event log store named by EVENTLOG\&.

.TP
\fB\-h\fR
Print usage information\&.

.SH "EVENTLOG RECORD FORMAT"

.PP
For the write operation, \fBeventlogadm\fR expects to be able to read structured records from standard input\&. These records are a sequence of lines, with the record key and data separated by a colon character\&. Records are separated by at least one or more blank line\&.

.PP
The event log record field are:

.TP 3
\(bu
\fBLEN\fR \- This field should be 0, since \fBeventlogadm\fR will calculate this value\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBRS1\fR \- This must be the value 1699505740\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBRCN\fR \- This field should be 0\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBTMG\fR \- The time the eventlog record was generated; format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970, UTC\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBTMW\fR \- The time the eventlog record was written; format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970, UTC\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBEID\fR \- The eventlog ID\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBETP\fR \- The event type \-\- one of "INFO", "ERROR", "WARNING", "AUDIT SUCCESS" or "AUDIT FAILURE"\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBECT\fR \- The event category; this depends on the message file\&. It is primarily used as a means of filtering in the eventlog viewer\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBRS2\fR \- This field should be 0\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBCRN\fR \- This field should be 0\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBUSL\fR \- This field should be 0\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBSRC\fR \- This field contains the source name associated with the event log\&. If a message file is used with an event log, there will be a registry entry for associating this source name with a message file DLL\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBSRN\fR \- he name of the machine on which the eventlog was generated\&. This is typically the host name\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBSTR\fR \- The text associated with the eventlog\&. There may be more than one string in a record\&.
.TP
\(bu
\fBDAT\fR \- This field should be left unset\&.

.SH "EXAMPLES"

.PP
An example of the record format accepted by \fBeventlogadm\fR:

.nf

	LEN: 0
	RS1: 1699505740
	RCN: 0
	TMG: 1128631322
	TMW: 1128631322

	SRN: dmlinux
	STR: (root) CMD ( rm \-f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron\&.hourly)
	DAT: 
	
.fi

.PP
Set up an eventlog source, specifying a message file DLL:

.nf

	eventlogadm \-o addsource Application MyApplication | \\\\
	    	%SystemRoot%/system32/MyApplication\&.dll
	
.fi

.PP
Filter messages from the system log into an event log:

.nf

	tail \-f /var/log/messages | \\\\
		my_program_to_parse_into_eventlog_records | \\\\
	      	eventlogadm SystemLogEvents
	
.fi

.SH "VERSION"

.PP
This man page is correct for version 3\&.0\&.25 of the Samba suite\&.

.SH "AUTHOR"

.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
