Introducing Newest Free Tool-SolarWinds Event Log Consolidator

bshopp over 12 years ago 1 minute read time

I am pleased to announce the General Availability of our latest free tool, the SolarWinds Event Log Consolidator. This latest free tool allows folks to centralize Windows Event Logs from up to 5 servers into one centralized console instead of having to remote desktop into each server or use native tools to accomplish this. With SolarWinds Event Log Consolidator, IT Engineers can do the following:

Remotely gather Windows Event Logs from up to 5 server
View Event Log information graphically over time as well as the ability to drill into and read the contents of specific event log messages
Define alert pop-ups in the OS system tray, as well as the ability to silence events from ever showing in the tool that the user does not care about
Filter base on time range, server or user defined custom filters
Export event log details to .csv file

Below is a video walking through this free tool, as well as a screenshot.

To read more about this free tool and to download, please visit here.

Let me know what you think and what other free tools you would like to see us do in the future.

SteveSW,
Thanks, you’re right I didn’t think of looking there.
Here is the content of the log file. Does this help you to determine why the credentials fail?
