Event Log Monitoring

The Windows Event Log is an important source for
application status information. When properly integrated
with the Windows operating system, applications can
report their errors to the Event log by recording an
event entry into the Application log. Furthermore,
details on failing operating system components and
hardware can be found in the System log. On Windows
2000 or newer server operating systems, the Active
Directory has its own directory and replication log.
MonitorMagic can access both local and remote Windows
Event logs and scan its contents. Every event entry
has its own source, ID, severity and desciption, which
can be used to detect possible incidents. MonitorMagic
can be triggered to alert on every event property or
attribute and take action when necessary.
