Hi, I am not familiar with splunk. And I'm also not 100% sure what you mean by event logs. The NowSMS logs that record message activity have the following names: SMSOUT-yyyymmdd.LOG - record of messages submitted from NowSMS to SMSC SMSIN-yyyymmdd.LOG - record of messages received from SMSC to NowSMS SMSWEB-yyyymmdd.LOG - record of client message submissions to NowSMS (HTTP or SMPP) MMSC-yyyymmdd.LOG - record of MMS message transactions There is something referred to as the "event log", but this primarily pertains to alerting. Alerts are logged in a Windows systemwide event log. We do not recommend interfacing with that log. As an alternative, we recommend configuring alerts to be forwarded via e-mail for automated processing. -- Des NowSMS Support | |||

Hi, Thanks for the detailed update. We have already configured alerts to notify incase of warning/errors. Even though, we have the alerts configured, I want to store the event details as logs. Please refer the below attachment for the log details. Is it possible? | |||

Hi, Unfortunately those particular log entries are only written to the Windows event log (and optionally forwarded via email). As I mentioned, we do not recommend interfacing with that log. As an alternative, we recommend configuring alerts to be forwarded via e-mail for automated processing. I asked our developers how they access this information to display as shown in your screen capture, and was told they use Windows APIs, specifically OpenEventLog for the "Application" log, and ReadEventLog (processing source name NowSMS). I have also initiated an engineering request to relocate this information to a standard log file in a future release. Please note that another alternative for accessing the information shown in this go is to use the data from the SMSOUT-yyyymmdd.LOG. Entries will show an OK, ERROR or Retry Pending status. -- Des NowSMS Support |
