RE: Event Viewer Monitoring Tool

["Seth Connolly" <sethc () gmx net>]

I use eventsentry, http://www.eventsentry.com/.  Very cheap filtering
solution.  I have it set up to email certain events to me and one "daily
summary" email from each server covering all events on that server.  It has
several notication options, such as smtp, syslog, odbc, xhtml, ascii
printer, net send, process (as in starting/stoping a process based on the
event), sound, etc.  In your situation it'll cost about $999 for 41-50
servers (about 20 bux a server).  It's small, non-intrusive, doesn't require
a restart to install, has a remote update feature...  They also have a quick
and helpful support staff.

I don't mean to sound like a salesman here, but this is a great (and cheap)
product.

Subject: Event Viewer Monitoring Tool


Has anyone got any suggestion for a reasonably priced (very) Event Viewer
monitoring tool.

I need it to basically look at the Event Viewer on 30 - 50 servers and mail
me important or filtered events.

I realise that one can spend thousands on this sort of software with all the
bells and whistles, but I need to keep it simple and cheap.

It's really to avoid the task of checking all individual servers manually
everyday!

Many thanks, Al
