Hi Nirmal, I'm afraid that LOG target is limited, I couldn't even find a way to change logging facility. It might be a good idea to google for some tool which can do that for you. Alternatively you can use scripting for that purpose. Please note that in corporate network you have less then a 30 services which are being used.
