System - Problem Areas: Windows Event Log
This system problem areas report shows Windows events logged for all devices during the time period displayed at the bottom of the report.
Note: In order for entries to be added to this report, the Windows Event Log listener must be enabled. 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 Manage Web Server.
Note: If this report's data exceeds the maximum number of records set for full reports, use the Zoom Tool to view more records for the report. The maximum number of records any full report displays is specified in the Preferences dialog.
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.
- Date. The date the event was received by WhatsUp Gold.
- Source. The device or program that originated the entry.
- WinEvent Type. The type of message received.
- Payload. The vital data (such as the event name, the IP address that the event came from, date of the event, etc.) that is passed with the event message. Move your mouse over the entry to see more of the payload. The data is limited to the first 100 bytes in the payload. To view the full payload, click the payload entry to launch the Payload Viewer.
Change the report date
Use the date/time picker at the top of the report to select a date range and time frame.
In the Date range list, some reports also allow you to specify and customize the business hour report times for reports to display. This allows you to view the network activity only for specified business hours. The date and time format for the date on this report matches the format specified in Program Options > Regional set in the WhatsUp Gold console.
Paging Options
At both the bottom and the top of the report table exist report paging controls that allow you to move through extensive amounts of report data with ease. First, use the Page list to select the specific page for which to view report data. Next, use the Showing ___ rows per page list to specify the number of rows that you would like displayed in the report. You can choose to display 25, 50, 1000, 250, or 500 rows. The default maximum is 50 rows. Finally, the Paging buttons allow you to move from page to page, or go to the first or last page.
