 About Network Event Viewer

Network Event Viewer enables Network Administrators to manage, consolidate, and analyze multiple local and remote Windows Event log files simultaneously.

Windows Event Logs are downloaded from networked computers and saved locally or to SQL Server. Once downloaded, Systems Administrators can view, sort, search, mark, and filter multiple logs at the same time.

Network Event Viewer installs a Windows Service that enables automatic log consolidation, notification, exporting, forwarding, archiving, and clearing. The Windows Service does not require system administrators to be logged into the system.

Notification methods and actions include:

  • Detailed email

  • PDA friendly email

  • Saving entries to SQL Server

  • Syslogging

  • Saving entries to a CSV, XML, HTML, or TXT file

Schedule frequencies include:

  • Every x minutes

  • Every x hours optionally excluding a time range

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Monthly

 Architecture

NEV consists of three major components:

The User Interface. The user interface is used to manually download logs, view logs, and configure the Windows Service for scheduled downloads and alerting.

The Windows Service. The service downloads logs per schedules you define. Once the logs are downloaded and saved to either file or SQL Server, any assigned filters are executed, actions completed, and alerts fired.

The Tray Icon. The tray icon changes depending on the notification status. When the service or viewer downloads logs, any assigned filters are executed. If entries match the filter criteria, the entries are saved to a file. The tray icon detects when this file has been updated and displays an explanation point. Lastly, the tray icon pops up a balloon window stating entries have been downloaded for your review. Once the notification entries have been viewed, the tray icon returns to its normal state.

 System Requirements

  • Net Framework 2.0
    The installation detects if .Net Framework 2.0 is already installed. If not, the framework is automatically downloaded from Microsoft and then installed.
     
  • Domain administrator account credentials
    To access remote logs from the user interface, your login must have domain administrator rights. When scheduling the service to download, filter, and clear remote logs, the service must be run with domain administrator rights. The first time the application is run, you will be prompted to assign domain administrator rights to the service.
     
  • Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation Support
    Network Event Viewer uses the Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) API by default to download logs. WMI is preinstalled in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.
     
  • Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP4 and later: WMI is available through "Add/Remove Windows components" in Control Panel, as WBEM option install. A later, more comprehensive, version is available as an Internet download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads . See "WMI CORE 1.5 (Windows 95/98/NT 4.0".

    If WMI is not an option, you can de-select this setting via the Options dialog. Some entries may not contain the entire message but rather just the replacement strings.

Each license comes with access to updates for 1 year. After that, you can purchase an upgrade license. An upgrade license provides you with access to updates for 1 more year.

Testimonial - I just downloaded the new version. It installed and works great! I'm downloading my event logs as we speak and I'm happy to see my CPU NOT pegged @ 100%.  LogViewer.exe is only using 2-19 % CPU time and 29MB RAM! And Network Event Viewer is very idle..  Michael  Norstrom - Binghamton University Foundation
