Event License - Windows Event Log Monitoring and Management Features             

The Event License in ELM Enterprise Manager collects Windows event log data from distributed Windows Servers and Workstations. The Event license provides fundamentally powerful Windows event log management for small to large enterprises.

Listed below are the core features found in the Event license. Notifications and Reporting features are shared across all licenses within ELM Enterprise Manager.

Event Alarms

The Event Alarm compares new events against a customized Event Filter. Depending on how it is configured, if an event either matches or fails to match the criteria the specified number of times within the time period, an Action is executed. This could be to run a command script, or to create an event which a notification method such as an email is then tied to.

For example, this is a convenient tool to detect the absence of a system back-up confirmation event.

Event Collector

The Event Collector monitors all Windows event logs and when an event matching a specified Event Filter is detected, it is transferred to the ELM Server. The collected events are processed by the ELM Server for any further actions and stored in the Primary database for reporting. Events pass through a number of filters to create concise Views, and trigger Notifications. Typically, very general Filters are configured at the Event Collector level to ensure all the data is collected and available for analysis.

Ping Monitor

The Ping Monitor sends custom ICMP echo requests to verify TCP/IP connectivity and the Quality of Service. It provides an early warning alert of a problem with the remote system's status, whether it be a server, workstation or other network device.

The Ping Monitor feature is included with all of the licenses in ELM Enterprise Manager 6.5.
