There are a few plug-ins available for it to monitor the Eventlog, one of which I wrote in .NET that'll also filter the messages based on a string you pass in, or you can negate that to only get logs with that string. So you can just get messages with "zone transfer failed" in it if you wanted. Here's a link to the board where you can download it and a bunch of different plug-ins: <A HREF="http://support.tsmgsoftware.com/">http://support.tsmgsoftware.com/</A> Good luck.

Same thing for windows, is there a chance to monitor the syslog with nagios?
