Hi Tim,
This is just a partially educated guess, but I would go for SNMP traps for
bandwidth sake.
From memory, the MS log events are located passivly using WMI which will
also require some underlying Windows authentication, and possibly travel
from WhatsUp to your host, then back again over Named Pipes as opposed to a
small, active one way UDP trap packet.
This is a similar situation when comparing a TCP port monitor of port 25 vs
Monitoring a Windows SMTP service, the port monitor will be faster and less
bandwidth.
Cheers,
Richard

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Windows Event Log Monitoring
If I configure three event log monitors on one server does WhatsUp scan
the event log for each individual event separately or does it look for
all three at once?
The reason I ask is I have servers at remote locations and my links to
them are relatively slow. I am trying to decide whether it would be
better to send SNMP traps from the server to WhatsUp or monitor the
event log from WhatsUp.
Tim
