DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(1) suite. eventlogadm 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.OPTIONS
-s FILENAMEThe -s option causes eventlogadm to load the
configuration file given as FILENAME instead of the default one used by
Samba.
-d
The -d option causes eventlogadm to emit
debugging information.
-o addsource EVENTLOG SOURCENAME MSGFILE
The -o addsource option creates a new event
log source.
-o write EVENTLOG
The -o write reads event log records from
standard input and writes them to the Samba event log store named by
EVENTLOG.
-o dump EVENTLOG RECORD_NUMBER
The -o dump reads event log records from a
EVENTLOG tdb and dumps them to standard output on screen.
-h
Print usage information.
EVENTLOG RECORD FORMAT
For the write operation, eventlogadm 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. The event log record field are:•LEN - This field should be 0, since
eventlogadm will calculate this value.
•RS1 - This must be the value
1699505740.
•RCN - This field should be 0.
•TMG - The time the eventlog record was
generated; format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970,
UTC.
•TMW - The time the eventlog record was
written; format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970,
UTC.
•EID - The eventlog ID.
•ETP - The event type -- one of
"INFO", "ERROR", "WARNING", "AUDIT
SUCCESS" or "AUDIT FAILURE".
•ECT - The event category; this depends
on the message file. It is primarily used as a means of filtering in the
eventlog viewer.
•RS2 - This field should be 0.
•CRN - This field should be 0.
•USL - This field should be 0.
•SRC - 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.
•SRN - The name of the machine on which
the eventlog was generated. This is typically the host name.
•STR - The text associated with the
eventlog. There may be more than one string in a record.
•DAT - This field should be left
unset.
