EVENTREPORTER PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Centralized Windows Event Log Collection and Forwarding
EventReporter collects Windows Event Log data, filters events locally and forwards the information that matters to syslog servers, SIEM systems, databases, files or email recipients.

- Flexible forwarding and storage
- Local and remote collection options
- Developed and supported by Adiscon
Move Windows Events Beyond the Local Event Viewer
Windows events normally remain distributed across individual computers. EventReporter brings relevant event data into the central logging, monitoring and alerting workflows where administrators can use it.
Without central collection
- Events remain on separate Windows systems
- Important messages are easy to miss
- Routine events create unnecessary noise
- Central retention and analysis are difficult
With EventReporter
- Collect Windows Event Logs continuously
- Select relevant events with local filtering
- Forward events to central systems
- Store events or trigger notifications and actions

02

03

04
