How many times has your Windows-based Server developed problems that puzzled you and you have been unable to figure out what really happened? Interesting enough, Windows records every event that takes places leading up to a failure of any sort in its event logger. There are pieces of software on the market that are able to read these log files but require extensive installation and configuration. An easy to use software that is “ready to go” is the ORION Remote Windows Event Log Reader. It makes the task of reading the Windows event log files that much easier.

This very powerful software runs only on Windows-based systems. It receives system log (syslog) messages and combines them with Windows events for true-time viewing or forwarding it to another syslog server. The fact that the ORION Remote Windows Event Log Reader reads data in true-time lets its user diagnose any problems that led up to a Windows server crash or other problem as the problems take place. This can be done, quite interestingly, even if the Windows server cannot be booted due to a crash. The application only requires the user to set the login information of any remote Windows servers and then setting a syslog server to forward the events to. Here are two screenshots of the ORION Remote Windows Event Log Reader in action (click on the images to see the full size):
