Event Log Monitor V1

Complete Windows Event Log Monitoring

All currently-existing logs are fully supported: the standard Windows Event Logs, the three logs introduced by Windows 2000 as well as custom event logs and the Window Vista event logging system. Also supported are Windows Event Log files. That feature supports NAS-devices, which often offer log information in Windows Event Log file format (.evt). By monitoring these files, SAN devices, too, can be monitored in near-real-time.

The Windows Event Log Monitor service processes Windows Event Logs. These are the native Windows event repositories. All “well-behaved” applications log messages into them. With the Event Log Monitor, they can automatically be parsed, filtered, processed, and forwarded. The full set of log sources in supported, including Windows 2000, and 2003 specific logs, custom event logs and event log files (e.g. from SAN devices).
