SV: [WhatsUp Forum] Windows Event Log Monitoring

[Finbom Magnus]

Title: Meddelande

Its the WUG that check the eventlogg for any new events. Not the server that send any information.   One thing that I dont have understand is how its actually done. I mean, I have a feeling that WUG is checking the eventlogs 24/7. Becuse even if I have configured the server to only be normally checked every minute, and an new event is made teh WUG is triggered directly.     Best regards Magnus Finbom IT-Engineer(Microsoft MCP, MCP+I, MCSE-NT4) Lansforsakringar Skaraborg Bank and Insurance Radhusgatan 8 54129 Skovde Sweden phone 0500 77 70 65, gsm 0708 71 70 60, fax 0500 77 70 30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lansforsakringar.se/skaraborg -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: Mike Patterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 13 juli 2004 12:46 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Windows Event Log Monitoring Hi Marc,   I think WUG has to go look for the new events via WMI every polling interval. I don't think the machine sends the events to WUG.  Hopefully someone will know more.   Michael Patterson (207)324-8805 x222 [EMAIL PROTECTED]       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wittke, Marc Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 6:35 AM To: What's Up Gold Forum (E-Mail) Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Windows Event Log Monitoring   Hi group,   does anybody know how the windows event log monitoring is working? in case: we're monitoring systems behind a firewall, and we realized a huge amount of inbound traffic for our WuG-system. Maybe WuG configures the machine behind the firewall similar to snmp-traps to /send/ the event log entries to our machine (via WMI)? This would explain the absence of windows log events if the firewall is filtering every inbound traffic except snmp traps.   regards marc
