Windows EventLog Reader Tool

Home  Previous  Next

The Windows EventLog Reader built-in tool shows the events registered in a specific Windows EventLog. What is interesting with this feature is that it shows how each event is actually registered: its source, its ID and its arguments (or "insertion strings"), the criteria required for monitoring EventLogs.

NoteAs opposed to other common EventLog Reader tools available, this one shows neither the whole event description string nor the username that has logged the even, because these operations are resource-intensive. By doing so, Monitoring Studio allows you to monitor really heavy EventLogs with no negative impact on performance.

To access the Windows EventLog Reader tool:

1.Right-click the main Monitoring Studio icon > KM commands > Tools > Windows EventLog Reader.

2.Select the EventLog you wish to view and click the Update button to refresh the window. This may take a few seconds to complete. The latest event is shown first in this list.
3.The last column in this window shows the arguments registered in each event.
4.There is one line per argument: the first argument line corresponds to the "Argument 1" field in the Windows Event monitoring wizard, the second argument line corresponds to the "Argument 2" field, etc.
5.To refresh the window, click the Update button.
6.To close the window, click the Close button.
