Event RoverOverviewFor On-the-Fly Event Log Forensics, Review, and MiningEvent logs on Windows® NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 servers and workstations pile up quickly. And, whether or not your network team is required to store, sort, and report on that log data, you know that there is valuable information hiding in there somewhere. Unfortunately, the event log viewer and other options included in your Windows operating system for viewing event logs are too cumbersome for routine log viewing. And, if in an emergency where log data should be recalled, sorted, and viewed quickly, this just isn't an option. Until today, options on the market may have been overkill for your network scenario. In short, there hasn't been an option between Event Viewer and larger, enterprise log management products. Event Rover, from Dorian Software Creations, provides a revolutionary new way to view and sort event logs - in fact, is an easy-to-use tool for viewing, "hands-free" sorting, and minimising potential harm to original event log stores while doing forensics or just routine log review. From the company that has been pioneering event log management since 1997, Event Rover is priced for networks of all sizes. And, it brings revolutionary log review capability within the reach of all network IT budgets [ read more ] FeaturesEffortless Event Log Sorting and ViewingEvent Rover™ changes the way network administrators view event logs - whether viewed routinely or in emergency investigatory scenarios. The most noticeable feature Event Rover delivers is the effortless sorting and filtering of event log data into multiple, user-configurable tree views. Indeed, this functionality represents a shift in the event log paradigm - since event log files often grow rapidly to large sizes, the traditional method of reviewing log files in a linear, chronological list is virtually obsolete. Every administrator needs an efficient tool for reviewing event log files without the endless scrolling and filtering required by the built-in event viewer. Accuracy is improved and auditor error is minimized with Event Rover - how many critical log entries can be missed when relying on line by line scanning and hastily prepared filter cheat sheets? Event Rover takes the guess work out of spot checking log files for security events too - all common security event identifiers have friendly descriptions paired with them throughout the application. Basic ad-hoc reporting and data exporting are available in Event Rover right out of the box, with no additional configuration needed. HTML reports can rapidly be generated from any branch of the currently viewed tree - what you see on screen is reproduced faithfully in the report. Related groups of events can be exported to comma-delimited text for further review/import into spreadsheets, databases, or Dorian Software's Event Analyst program. Admins and forensic examiners can add comments to any reports they create, in order to further explain what the data represents.
Event Rover provides the additional assurance that routine review or spot audits will not affect the integrity of log file stores - all review is done with a backup copy of the log file copied to the local computer. No clearing of the active, in-use log file occurs with Event Rover. If a backup of an event log yields important findings, administrators can easily add it to Event Rover's library of saved logs for further review or forensic submission. Used independently, or as a companion to Dorian's Total Event Log Management Suite components - Event Alarm, Event Archiver, and Event Analyst - Event Rover provides a most efficient way of accomplishing what should be a simple, routine administrative task: the mining of event log data for items of interest.
