Free ORION Windows Event Log Reader Software
Friday, April 06, 2007
Can't go wrong with free software, and this for the IT crowd, especially the Network Administrators out there who are always looking to managed their servers. There's some free ORION Remote Windows Event Log Reader software out there for you guys, if your processing volume is under 5 events a second. What does this software mean? It's a useful tool that monitors your Windows System Events can be can automatically be forwarded to Syslog Servers, email, SNMP, or written to databases in real-time, keeping track of your server and specifically what's going wrong with it. For those with much more servers or higher processing volumes it can be upgraded for a month-to-month subscription for $12.95/month for 15 events/sec (don't worry non-tech's, Network Administrators know the figures) so it isn't too expensive for those with large networks as they'll easily pay more for other software. It's pretty easy to use and can be up in minutes, as shown by the screenshot below:

Overall I think it can help, and could be a useful diagnosis tool for your servers. Check it out and as always feel free to post your thoughts.

Hey Steve, thanks for the votes. I really appreciate that.
Can anyone recommend the robust RMM software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central it automation software
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
