Please note that the current builds do no longer support older platforms, but we have previous releases available for those that need them (the current software can no longer run on e.g. NT 3.5 platforms, because there are technical issues mostly with the installer).

Robustness

EventReporter is running in a large number of installations. It is written to perform robustly even under unusual circumstances. Its reliability has been proven at customers’ sites since 1997.

Remote Administration

The client can be used to remotely manage EventReporter instances.

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 Windows Event Log Decoding

EventReporter can fully decode all types of Windows Event Log entries. It has the same capabilities like event viewer.

Windows Service

The log forwarding process “the engine” is implemented as a native multithreaded Windows service. It can be controlled via the control panel services applet, the computer management console and any other means for controling servies.

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. The output character encoding is selectable and support Shift-JIS, JIS and EUC-JP for Japanese users.
