Events in the Eventlog

C-EventLogConsole is a tool for viewing and searching events. It's function is similar to the Event Viewer tool, which is a component of management tools. The application loads a list of all events of a chosen type, and based on the user-entered condition (script), searches the list for all events that meet the given condition. The obtained "list of found events" can be viewed, or eventually saved in several formats. The tool works in interactive mode with user interface, or in non-interactive mode, based on the command line parameters

Creation of settings (skript)

Before scheduling a periodic task for monitoring of events in the eventlog, first you have to configure its settings, i.e. you choose rules, so that you'll only see required events.
Begin the setup by launching the module C-EventLogConsole, as you can see on the next image.

To search for a specific type of event, you must define conditions. They are added using the wizard, as you can see on the next image.

Using the wizard, define conditions (filter) to only view a selected type of events from the Eventlog

For easier understanding, we've given an example for searching only events of the type Application Hang - on the next image is a condition that will look for all events, which contain the word "Hang" in the column Source.

After confirming the created conditions, press the button marked with number 1 on the next image to only view Events according to the predefined conditions - as you can see, only events of the type Application Hang were displayed on the bottom in our case. When you've confirmed that only required events are displayed, press button no. 2, and save your settings with the option Save Conditions.
