When specifying the /le option, CheckURL will log all actions to the event log with the event source ESAdminTools and the event category CheckURL. Depending on the options specified in the /evt parameter, CheckURL will either log an informational, warning or error event to the event log.

 

Event Log Rules (/evt)

The event log rules allow you to specify with which severity certain checks will be logged to the event log. For example, you can log an ERROR to the event log if a particular text is not found in an URL, or a WARNING when the checksum of a page has changed.

 

You can create the event log rules with the following pattern pair: ACTION=SEVERITY,ACTION=SEVERITY,...

 

Actions

The following actions are available:

 

•CHECKSUM_CHANGE        A checksum change has been detected

•CHECKSUM_EQUAL        A checksum has not changed

•TXT_FOUND                The specified text has been found in the page

•TXT_NOTFOUND                The specified text has not been found in the page

•CERTIFICATE                The remote certificate expires

 

Severities

Events can be logged with the following severities:

 

•Error                        Logs event as an error

•Warning                        Logs event as a warning

•Information                Logs event as a warning

•Ignore                        Does not log an event to the event log

 

Some examples for rules are:

 

•TXT_FOUND=Ignore,TXT_NOTFOUND=Warning

•CHECKSUM_CHANGE=Error,CHECKSUM_EQUAL=Information
