This report shows Windows events logged for the selected device during the time period displayed at the bottom of the report.

The Windows Event Log

Note: In order for entries to be added to this report, the Windows Event Log listener must be enabled and a Windows Event passive monitor must be added to the device. For more information on the Windows Event Log listener, see Enabling the Windows Event Log Listener.

Tip: If you experience page load delays for device or system passive monitor reports (SNMP Trap, Syslog, and Windows Event Log), this may be caused by too many records to display for this report time range. Change the time range or reduce the Maximum Passive Monitor Records setting to display fewer records. Reducing the maximum number of passive monitor records will improve WhatsUp Gold report display performance.

Note: WhatsUp Gold v14.1 and prior used a default value of 10,000 max records; WhatsUp Gold v14.2 and later use a default value of 1,000 max records. For more information, see Managing server options.

A Windows log event is a Windows Event Viewer entry monitored by WhatsUp Gold. This could be monitoring when a service is started or stopped, if there was a logon failure, or any other entry in the Windows Event Viewer.
