EventReporter 5.0 announced

Erftstadt, Germany, November 29th, 2000.

Adiscon today announced version 5.0 of EventReporter. EventReporter is a powerful monitoring tool for Windows NT and Windows 2000. Sold since 1997, it is in use at a large number of sites world-wide - at both small and large enterprises.

"We are very excited about this new release", says President Rainer Gerhards, "it is another major advance in system monitoring. The new local pre-filtering of events allows for even reduced resource usage and higher scalability."

"We are proud to announce this exciting new release at IT Asia Millenium together with our partner Allindianet. This further strengthens our commitment to serving the global market."

EventReporter 5.0 is a good global citizen. As part of Adiscon's ongoing internationalization strategy, EventReporter 5.0 offers a multi-language enabled client. Currently, English, German and Japanese messages are supported. The client is architectured around Adiscon's XML based multi-language interface. As such, additional languages can be added very easily - customers interested in another local language can contact Adiscon directly.

"The best possible customer experience is our goal", says president Rainer Gerhards, "as such, we are very happy to announce a number of new international resellers right at this time. They serve our global customers based on their local customs. Among the very first partners are Port139 in Japan, Wirefly in Finland and AllIndiaNet in India."

EventReporter monitors Windows NT and 2000 event logs. It forwards the information found in these logs to either syslog servers (syslog daemons) or email recipients. EventReporter does local filtering of events, so that only important events can be forwarded.

In smaller environments, EventReporter relives the administrator from the burden to regularly check the Windows event logs. Actually, many administrators do not check the logs. So EventReporter also improves the reliability of Windows systems as important events will not be left unnoticed.

In larger environments, EventReporter is typically used as a tool for heterogeneous system integration (especially in Unix environments). Syslog delivery is used to send messages to a single central syslog daemon which in turn is used as the main event source for administrative actions. In such scenarios, the syslog based event system is already in place and EventReporter enables administrators to integrate Windows management in their usual environment.

EventReporter runs on all flavors of Windows NT, including NT Workstation (or Windows 2000 Professional). It does not run under Windows 9x (as there is no event log).

EventReporter 5.0 is already available as beta 2 from Adiscon's download area. The final release is expected within 2 weeks.
