Subject: ruby eventlog monitor for windows

Hi Win32 team,

I am looking for a ruby way/library to monitor windows event log.

Something like an event viewer yet very powerful,

require "win32/EventlogMonitor"

e = EventlogMonitor.monitor("localhost")
e.add_monitor "Application"    #monitor the Application event log

# monitor realtime
e.on_event do |event|
  if event.type =~ /warning/i and event.source =~ /msexchange/
     mail.sendmail user=>"botp" subject=>"ms exchange warnings"
  end 
end


# read whole eventlog
e.open "Application"   # view the Application event log
e.read_line do |line|
   if line.type =~ /fail/ and line.source =~ /antivir/
      puts line
   end
end
e.close

I hope i am not asking too much.

thank you and kind regards -botp
