Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for the explanations and links, etc, it makes a lot more
sense now.
@Chris -> Thanks for the link to exilog. I installed it and everything
seemed to run, but it didn't get any data. I did run the agent, saw it
logging to exilog.log and it updated the heartbeat table, so not sure
why, will have to investigate when I have a little more time, but it
would save a lot of effort if I could get it working.
Thanks again everyone,
Regards,
John Mc Murray
