After considerable searching, Monitor Magic was found to meet all the needs of the Society. Its simplicity of installation and configuration, the user friendly GUI and helpful support staff contributed to us having the software providing essential information within minutes. I would suggest that any one needing to monitor or analyse their server farm should give Monitor Magic a serious look.
The Windows Event log is stored locally on each computer and is therefore
no consolidated source of status information. Windows itself has no method
of replicating or sychronizing this information to a single, centrally available
audit source. MonitorMagic features central or distributed storage of Windows
Event Logs in a database and provides intelligent and dynamic reports for
easy and quick centralized event log management.
Agentless
Archiving
No need to install agents on each server to archive event
logs, have MonitorMagic archive and store all event logs remotely
