EventMeister is an useful and reliable Windows Event Log reader with system wide monitoring and event notification facilities.
A single installation can harvest Event Log data throughout your network without the need for multiple licences. EventMeister gathers information from the Windows Event Logs on your computer or any networked computer. Data from all logs is presented to you in a consistent, easy to read format.
Use powerful filters to retrieve only the information in which you're interested and merge data from multiple logs for easier timeline analysis.
You can filter, sort and reorganize columns to assist with detailed analysis and data presentation, and create multiple views of the same data.
At any time you can export a log, aggregate log or cross-section of a log in various formats including text, csv, xml, formatted html and RSS.
This makes it easy to import filtered data into databases or analysis applications such as Excel. You can even publish your event logs or as RSS feeds.
EventMeister resides in your system tray and will monitor your logs 24/7, watching out for certain entry patterns. When it identifies an item of interest, it will respond by issuing visual and audio alerts, sending emails, writing to a log and even running your own scripts.
IMPORTANT: If the 'Install Service Component' option is selected, the service will be set to run under the same account as the application itself. This account MUST have administrator privileges and be password protected. Take care to enter the correct password during installation otherwise the service will not run.
You can install / uninstall the service component at any time simply by running the install wizard (the installation program) again. None of your settings will be affected by this, but it's always wise to take a backup before making any changes - see "Backing Up" in the Help for details.
