OPC Syslog ?

[issinoho]

I recently stumbled on this, which is exactly what I'm looking for, but there seems to be nothing else I can find on this. Does this exist? Commercial, Freeware? Download link?

Anyone know anything?

TIA.

I doubt that is the same.

That blog post says:

"OPC_SYSLOG is used to read OpenVMS OPCOM messages and to transfer them
to a SYSLOG server"

which is not the same as a syslogd server.

I have installed the SYSLOGD tool from VSI. I use it to transfer
selected audit messages to an alarming tool via the syslog protocol.
I think - if I remember well - that this tool can also be configured
to transfer OPC messages. I can't check for the moment, but I think
that the syslogd config file can contain instruction to transmit
messages from selected OPC classes. To be verified, but I'm almost
sure.

It looks like syslogd can broadcast received syslog messages via OPCOM, which is the opposite of what the originally linked utility (apparently) does.
