ADAudit Plus is an amazing tool and does wonders for all admins, security professionals, and auditors working with Windows Active Directory. However, EventLog Analyzer in combination with ADAudit Plus is a complete solution for reporting on events that are shotgunned all over your Windows computers.

EventLog Analyzer will take over where ADAudit Plus stops. Let me give you some examples:

  • Security log events – ADAudit Plus gathers a tremendous amount of information from the security log, bt not everything. If you wanted to gather information about anonymous logons, LanManager logons, etc, you can now do that and generate reports using EventLog Analyzer.

  • Application, system, and setup logs – You can gather and generate reports for any and all events that appear under the Windows logs.

  • Applications and services logs – These new Windows logs have some hidden gems located in them for troubleshooting and tracking activity for applications and services. You can gather and report on any and all events located in these Windows logs.

  • Application logs – Not all logs are stored in Event Viewer, and these logs can be very difficult to analyze and generate reports for. With EventLog Analyzer, you can now look at trends, issues, and other details  by gathering the key events you need and generating reports for them.

Of course, I am being selfish with just mentioning EventLog Analyzer for Windows. EventLog Analyzer can gather events and generate reports for over 650 devices! If there is a log, you can rest assured that EventLog Analyzer will be able to help you report on its contents.

I can’t wait to start to blog on custom reports that I have developed using EventLog Analyzer. If you have a special need for analyzing logged information, please send your needs to me at Derek@manageengine.com, and I will develop the report and share it with the world! If you have been using EventLog Analyzer and have some great reports that you have developed, please share them with me and I will reshare with the world!
