Alerting on Event Logs
EventLog Analyzer includes alerts
on event logs which notify administrators when an event
matching a specific criteria is generated. Alerting helps
administrators monitor critical servers and processes on the
network without spending too much time watching graphs and
reports.
Host based Alerting
You can define which hosts or group of hosts need to be monitored.
Depending on the size of your enterprise, critical processes
may run on a single dedicated server, or be spread out over
a group of servers. EventLog Analyzer lets you set up alerts
for events generated in both cases.
Custom Alert Profiles
If you need to trigger an alert
based on events generated with a specific log type, log
message, or severity, you can define a custom alert profile
to notify administrators.
Pre-defined Alert Profiles
EventLog Analyzer includes a list of pre-defined event
status messages for Windows and UNIX hosts. You can set
an alert by choosing a status message from this list.
Typical status messages include, "Failed login",
"Audit logs cleared", "DNS shutdown",
and so on.
Compliance Alert Profiles
If you need to trigger an alert
based on specific type of compliance violation for HIPAA,
GLBA, PCI, or SOX, based on failed logon attempts, policy changes,
account changes, and audit logs cleared, you can define a
compliance alert profile to notify administrators.
EventLog Analyzer supports a variety of alert notifications.
