Windows Event Log Monitoring via WMI

Iotellect Network Manager provides a simple way to monitor Windows Event Log via WMI.

Right-click a WMI device and invoke the Edit Device Properties action. Then select the WQL Event Requests tab in the opened window and add a record to the table there. In the WQL Request field, enter a request that selects instance creation events for the Win32_NTLogEvents with required filtering parameter if needed. For example, to monitor all the events, enter the following text:

SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_NTLogEvent'

You should also fill the Name and Description fields.

Click OK and from now on Iotellect Network Manager will fetch fresh data from Windows Event Log every time the device is synchronized. The log objects are represented as Iotellect events. You can also set another polling period by specifying synchronization period for the wmiEvents variable.

To follow and inspect Windows events, invoke the WMI Events filter in the Iotellect Event Log.
