"Network security is of paramount concern to us, so when we reviewed our policies about logging we discovered our short comings, with over 15 servers in 4 locations across the world checking the Event Logs on a daily basis, really was a "daily" job, and as you know a small IT department can't spare an engineer to just sit and read logs all day. The information contained within the event logs of a Windows based machine can provide you with that final clue as to why your server just crashed. With our servers, collecting and viewing this information manually would take hours, and hours is one thing you don't have during a server outage. So we looked at EventSentry. With EventSentry the logs are passed to a central repository or e-mailed to the system admins so that the appropriate actions can be taken. Now we can review the logs of all of our servers daily and it only takes fractions of an hour as opposed to fractions of a day."
