Dorian’s Event Log Monitor/Audit Software - Version 5 now available for a free evaluation download!

Event Alarm ® is an easy-to-configure network security software application that can alert network personnel the moment specific events happen throughout the network. Running behind the scenes as a set of Windows services, Event Alarm constantly watches over your log files, immediately notifying you at the first sign of trouble with email or by forwarding to the syslog server, for example. It helps network security professionals meet regulatory compliance or internal security standards as they relate to log file management, while freeing up the resources to approach network administration more proactively.

Event Alarm offers the network administrator a wide range of event log notification options including email alerts, network pop-ups, pager calls, syslog server forwarding, database insertion, or broadcast notifications throughout the domain to administrators running Event Alarm's custom notification program. Flexibility is a major strength of Event Alarm where options for custom notification are many and alarms can easily be grouped. Conveniently keep an eye out for that one log file type or multiple event IDs.

Event Alarm ships with more than one hundred pre-defined alarms, making selection of those EVT and EVTX / Vista events for which an alarm is desired even easier. And, Event Alarm is not just a security log software or SEM package that merely focuses on one log type, such as the security event log. It supports standard Windows event logs as well as the syslog, providing a comprehensive approach to network security and event log monitoring. Licensing is based on Windows machines generating logs ( Windows Server 2008 or Windows XP workstations, for example) to be managed - syslog support is unlimited and free with any licensed implementation of Event Alarm.

In addition, Event Alarm is an agent optional event log monitor tool. Most of its features and functions can run automatically with preset definitions and event log notifications. This gives network security professionals the ability to solve critical problems when they occur without manually sifting through the event logs or syslogs. And, with version 5 and above, monitoring the Vista log and Windows Server 2008 log can be just as easy as watching those old EVTs.

Among its latest features, Event Alarm boasts the Rapid Configuration Tool that eliminates any requirement for advanced knowledge of the event log and its identifiers. Now, quickly implementing an enterprise grade log monitoring tool is within the reach of networks of all sizes.

Used alone, or coupled with another of our event log consolidation or log audit software tools - Event Archiver ® or Event Analyst ® - Event Alarm is a powerful and cost-effective way to monitor the health and security of your network.
