Features

Event filters

EvenTrigger allows total filter customisation to extract, from the mass of information generated by the event logs, only the events that are important and meaningful to you.

EvenTrigger has 12 predefined filters:

• Errors/Warnings
• Printer
• Logon/Logoff
• Service Error
• Access Denied
• Process Start & Stop
• Unexpected Shutdown
• Computer Start & Shutdown
• Performance Alert
• File Access
• Remote Access
• All

These can be used as they are and/or customised to meet your specific requirements.

Alerts

When a previously “filtered” event occurs, EvenTrigger automatically sends an entirely customisable alert message by email or by popup to the recipient(s) of your choice.

The message can include, if you choose so, the entire event detail.

This mechanism guarantees that you will be instantly alerted as problems arise and will be able to act in consequence; all delay in reaction and any confusion as to the problem’s origin are completely eradicated.

Automatic process, script and alarm triggers

EvenTrigger can also trigger predefined action when an event occurs, such as:

• Execute programs (.exe, .cmd)
• Launch scripts (.vbs, .js)
• Start audible alarms (.mp3, .wav, .mid)
• Stop or start computers
• Stop or start processes

It is also possible to trigger actions from events occurring upon computer startup and before EvenTrigger has started.  

These functionalities can be replicated at will: It is up to you to create the most pertinent “event/action” sequences meeting your environment’s specific setup!

Event storage in an OLEDB database

EvenTrigger can automatically insert the filtered events in an OLEDB compatible database (Access, SQL Server, Oracle, …), thus allowing analysis using database queries.

Reporting

EvenTrigger has 8 predefined reports ready for immediate use:

• Generic event report
• File access
• User sessions
• Printing report
• Computer starts & shutdowns
• Service errors
• Process tracking
• RAS & VPN connections

Ease of use

EvenTrigger uses a MMC (Microsoft Management Console) snap-in component.  The solution’s configuration and use are made easy and simple with assistants.  With EvenTrigger the creation and activation of a customised filter sequenced with an alert and/or process trigger is only the matter of a couple of minutes!
