In the event of network errors, Alchemy Eye can alert the network administrator by cell phone or pager BEFORE problems get seriously out of hand.

ELM Event Log Monitor 4.0 reliably collects millions of events from hundreds of Windows systems, presents the information in a granular format, and launches alerts so that System Administrators can replace forensic follow-up with proactive management. Using EVM’s automated monitoring, rich notifications, and preconfigured reports, Compliance Managers achieve reduced system management costs and a fortified security perimeter.

With the growing demand of Windows based systems a problem arises that these systems log events to their native event log and lacks the ability to forward it to UNIX or other operating systems hosts.

Adiscon comes up with the solution in the form of EventReporter. EventReporter processes the NT Event Logs, parses them and forwards the results via Syslog protocol to a central Syslog server. It runs on all flavors of Windows NT and 2000 as well as ALPHA processors.

Its capabilities are ideal for network administrators/planners, desktop support professionals, system analysts, system administrators, internet managers and technical support personals to fully integrate Windows solutions into their existing Syslog monitoring and alerting environment.

A recent survey carried out by SANS Institute found that 44% of system administrators do not keep logs more than a month.
