SolarWinds Event Log Forwarder for Windows

Question

Team,

EOL for SolarWinds Event Log Forwarder for Windows is Mar 2026. We are monitoring couple of Event IDs on Windows and removing this utility will have any impact ?

Thanks,

Pradeep Kumar

We use SAM to monitor couple of Event IDs with our SolarWinds Orion Self Hosted Platform with the version 2026.1.1

This utility was installed long back by someone and Kiwi Syslog was decommissioned long back.

If you are monitoring event-id's with a normal SAM Event component, that will not be affected. It's not using the event log forwarder.
