System Requirements#

EventReporter is designed to run on current Windows client and server systems with modest resource requirements.

Supported operating systems#

The current product is intended for:

  • Windows 10

  • Windows 11

  • Windows Server 2016

  • Windows Server 2019

  • Windows Server 2022

  • Windows Server 2025

  • newer compatible Windows releases

Do not assume that older end-of-life Windows versions are supported by current EventReporter releases. If you need documentation for legacy platforms, use the manual that matches the older product release.

Client requirements#

The EventReporter Configuration Client:

  • runs on supported 32-bit and 64-bit Windows environments where the current product is supported

  • requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 or a newer .NET Framework 4.x release, such as .NET Framework 4.8 or 4.8.1

  • .NET Framework 4.x and .NET Core / .NET 5+ are different runtime families, so .NET Core and .NET 5+ do not satisfy this requirement

  • the installer can add the required .NET Framework components if needed

  • needs only modest disk space and memory for normal administration tasks

This requirement applies to systems where the EventReporter Configuration Client is installed. A service-only target does not require the Configuration Client.

Service requirements#

The EventReporter service:

  • runs as a Windows service in the background

  • uses comparatively little memory and disk space in its base state

  • consumes additional resources depending on queue size, action types, and event volume

Operational notes#

  • Database logging performance depends more on the database and DSN setup than on the EventReporter core service.

  • Large queues, heavy filtering, or verbose debug logging will increase resource use.

  • Additional Windows event channels available on server editions can also be monitored when the operating system exposes them.
