Analyze Windows System Event Logs

Performance is one of the most important KPI of any application or system. Objective is to track the performance of windows & applications in details.

Windows system event logs have all sorts of information and how this information can be leveraged to derive an intelligence and thus leading to optimized performance of Windows OS.

With the help of Motadata agent (which is lightweight and low footprint), Motadata will receive each and every event which is generated in Microsoft Windows OS (Server 2008, 2008 R2, Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 10 etc.) and its system applications (i.e. MS SQL, IIS, Active directory, DHCP, DNS, etc.).

With the help of an intelligent windows event log parser, Motadata will extract raw data and will convert into meaningful columns including raw event messages and a custom dashboard which can include event ID, User, Source IPs, Message and Reason, log-in, log-out etc..

Not only that, you can automate notifications to get notified on critical events on AD (Active Directory) such as

  • Alert me whenever Active Directory user is modified
  • Alert me whenever my CPU utilization reaches 90%
  • Alert me whenever an unauthorized access takes place
  • Alert me whenever DDos attack happens on my Active Directory.
