eventcreateservice.php - SOAP service for Windows Event log

eventcreateservice.php (ECS) is a simple SOAP service which uses eventcreatef.exe by Florian Weinert (http://prunkster.ecw.de/2010/04/12/eventcreatef-exe-eine-erganzung-zu-eventcreate-exe/). Every incoming SOAP message will be passed through to eventcreatef.exe which will write the log message to a Windows 2003/XP event log. With ECS and eventcreatef.exe you can log any event to a an eventlog of central Windows machine without Syslogd running.

Workflow

Unix/Linux system (log_over_soap.sh) OR SOAP-enabled client --calls over SOAP--> Windows system (eventcreateservice.php) --pass through to eventcreatef.exe--> Windows system (central event log)

Installation

Just copy eventcreateservice.php and config.php to a Webserver enabled directory of your choice (htdocs / Inetpub). This webserver MUST run under a Windows operating system. You have to install Zend Framework 1.10.5 or later, because ECS uses of ZendSoap* classes.
