|
|
I use HostMon to 'read' NT type Sys & App logs on servers and this works fine.
I'd like to get it read the 'extended' logs that Windows servers have, but can't see how.
Alex - is this even possible? If not can it go on the wish list for 11.x?

NT Event Log test method?
I think you just need to switch from Windows NT to Windows Vista mode when setup test (Compatibility option in Test Properties dialog)

Perhaps - I'm using the classic NT mode as I've never been able to get Vista mode to work...
[/url]
First pic is the detailed logs I'd like to get HM to read..
2nd pic is reading logs from a remote W2012r2 box using classic NT mode... but only shows basic logs..
3rd pic is what I get if I try to use Vista mode and point HM at a W2012r2 box as the target..
I'm obviously being a clutz.. what am I missing pls?
Thanks

Windows API, used by "NT mode" does not support "extended" logs.
If HostMonitor is started on Windows 2003 or Windows XP - it will not be able to use newer NT Log API (Windows Vista mode).
What Windows OS do you have installed on HostMonitor system? |

In this case HM is running as a service on a Win2012R2 box but I've seen the same problem (probably me!) when it's run on a Win 2008 x64 box.
Thanks! |
