Tutorial: Prepare EventReporter Data for Adiscon LogAnalyzer

Use this tutorial when EventReporter should write data that you want to review later in Adiscon LogAnalyzer.

Goal

At the end of this procedure, EventReporter will write Windows events into a database that LogAnalyzer can open.

Recommended path

For EventReporter, the recommended LogAnalyzer path is database-backed storage. This avoids file-parser dependencies and is the most stable integration path in the current manual.

Prerequisites

• A reachable database server

• An ODBC System DSN on the EventReporter host

• EventReporter access to the target database

• A LogAnalyzer deployment that is ready to connect to the same database

Steps

1. Complete Tutorial: Write Windows Events to Microsoft SQL Server so EventReporter writes matching events into the database.

2. Open Set up and use Adiscon LogAnalyzer.

3. Configure LogAnalyzer to use the same database as its data source.

4. Trigger one or more matching Windows events.

Verification

1. Confirm that EventReporter writes rows into the target table.

2. Open the configured source in LogAnalyzer.

3. Verify that the stored events appear there.
