Apache for Windows - forward logs to syslog server

+1 vote
1,437 views

I am trying to figure out how to forward mainly the Error Logs from an Apache for Windows installation over to a remote syslog server. All documents I can locate show how to do this if Apache is running in Linux. Does anyone know how to make this happen in Windows?

You can run Snare Epilog for Windows as a daemon to read your local apache log files and forward them on to a syslog server

You should also be able to use a Windows port of the logger utility and pipe your apache logs directly to it.

I start httpd.exe from a PHP script, using this command string on Win7:

 start /b  /d ...httpd.exe -f myhttpd.conf

This appears to work OK. However, when it comes to stopping it I have an error message. I'm trying initially from the console prompt:

 httpd.exe -k stop -f pathtomyhttpd.conf

and the message is:

 (OS 5)Access is denied. : failed to open the Apache2.2 Service

What is the right way to do this?

I am newbie in Apache concepts and only know Apache Tomcat. Following is my requirement, would anybody please help me how to setup.

I have a clustered JBOSS EAP 6.3 instances running on two different Windows 8 machines. Now I am planning to put a load balancer to dispatch the requests to these JBOSS clustered servers.

I am thinking of Apache httpds as a load balancer. What I got to know is these Apache web server will be available in source code and source code needs to be compiled as per the environment.
