EventLog Translation Service equips the administrators with additional tools to manage the Windows event logs: You can configure the SYSLOG server to perform the needed action when events that meet the set criteria appear. All information about appearing events is stored centrally in SYSLOG journals or in your network management system constructed on the basis of SNMP. You will not have to look through the performance logs of your servers manually. EventLog Translation Service does it for you. EventLog Translation Service forwards the appearing events at the same time they occur. Thus, in case an emergency situation occurs, you will be notified instantly.
