Windows Event Forwarder Offered As Add-On for Orion Network Performance Monitor

Posted on: Thursday, 25 May 2006, 09:00 CDT

TULSA, Okla., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SolarWinds.Net announced today that it has released a new, free add-on to its Award Winning Orion Network Performance Monitor called the Windows Event Forwarder. This add-on module is installed on Windows servers to forward Windows Event Messages to SolarWinds' Orion Syslog Server.

"The ability to remotely monitor system logs and events is a critical part of server management," said Ryan Jett, Senior Technology Advisor for SolarWinds.Net. "While Unix systems are inherently able to forward system logs to log servers, Windows Event Messages are typically stored locally and are sometimes harder to monitor. The Windows Event Forwarder allows you to centrally manage system logs whether they be from Windows servers, Unix servers, routers, switches, or firewalls."

"With the Orion Network Performance Monitor and the Windows Event Forwarder, SolarWinds' customers have the ability to increase the performance and security of their Windows systems," said Haley Oyler, Senior Product Manager for SolarWinds.Net. "These applications enable you to automatically receive notification via pager or e-mail whenever a critical event occurs on your servers. This, coupled with the fact that you can now manage your servers and network infrastructure from a single system, offer SolarWinds users a tremendous advantage in terms of cost savings and ease of administration."

SolarWinds' customers who implement the Orion Network Performance Monitor and have active software maintenance can download the Windows Event Forwarder and install it on as many of their Windows servers as needed.
