Product Features

• Centralized Logging

This is the key feature. EventReporter allows to consolidate multiple NT event logs and forward them automatically to either a system process or an administrator.

• Ease of Use

Using the new EventReporter client interface, the product is very easy to setup and customize. We also support full documentation and support for large-scale unattended installations.

• Syslog Support

NT Event Messages can be forwarded using standard syslog protocol. NT severity classes are mapped to the corresponding syslog classes. Syslog facility codes are fully supported.

• Email Support

NT event log information can also be delivered via standard Internet email. This option is an enabler for smaller organizations or service providers unattended monitoring their client's servers.

• Local Filtering

EventReporter can locally filter events based on the NT event log type (e.g. "System" or "Application") as well as severity.

• Full Windows 2000/Server 2003 Support

We have had full Windows 2000 support since Windows 2000 shipped! All extended Windows 2000 log information can be gathered, fully decoded and submitted to the log targets (email or syslogd). Of course, EventReporter is also fully Windows Server 2003 compatible.

• Robustness

EventReporter - under it's previous name EvntSLog - is running in a large number of installations. It is written to perform robust even under unusual circumstances. It's reliability has been proven at customers sites since 1996.

• Minimal Resource Usage

EventReporter has no noticeable impact on system resources. It was specifically written with minimal resource usage in mind. In typical scenarios, it's footprint is barely traceable. This ensures it can also be installed on heavily loaded servers.

• Full NT Event Log Decoding

EventReporter can fully decode all types of NT event log entries. It has the same capabilities like event viewer.

• NT Service

The log forwarding process "the engine" is implemented as a native multithreaded Windows NT service. It can be controlled via the control panel services applet.

• Runs on large Variety of NT Systems

NT 3.5(1), 4.0, 2000 or 2003; Workstation or Server - EventReporter does run on all of them. We also have Compaq(Digital) ALPHA processor versions on platforms supporting this processor (engine only, available on request).

• Double Byte Character Set Support (e. g. Japanese)

EventReporter supports characters encoded in double byte character sets (DBCS). This is mostly used with Asian languages like Japanese or Chinese. All DBCS strings are forwarded correctly to the syslog daemon or email recipient. However, the receiving side must also be able to process DBCS correctly. Adiscon's syslog daemon for Windows, WinSyslog, does so.

• Multi-Language Client

The EventReporter client comes with multiple languages ready to go. Out of the box, English, German and Japanese are supported. Languages can be switched instantly. Language settings are specific to a user.

Additional languages can be easily integrated using Adiscon's brand new XML based localization technology. We ask customers interested in an additional language for a little help with the translation work (roughly 1 hour of work). Adiscon will than happily create a new version. This service is free!
