  • 1.  Scan Engine Windows Event Log details

    Posted Feb 09, 2011 01:31 PM

    The Scan Engine Implementation Guide lists a number of events and the various logging levels they occure at. Table 8-2 in the version I am looking at.

    Is there any information available that lists the Event ID, Type, Source, etc. for the events listed that would then enable me to detect specific occurence in a Windows Event log and alert adminsitrators accordingly.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure if this is what you need, but give it a quick look.

    Thanks for response but I had already found this.

    What I was looking for was for someway to distinguish between different events written to the Windows Event log.

    The information in the manual has a high level description of the event and the level it is logged at. e.g. "Definitions update failure" logged as error. But it doesn't give me anything else i could use to distinguish this from "Licensing Error" also logged asan error so I can raise alerts on some events but not others.

    For other software I have experience with I have found they have different Event IDs

    I hope that explains what I am looking for.

    Cheers

    I am not finding anything that describes what you are seeking. There are not too many experts with the Scan engine product here in Connect, so maybe a quick call to support may help you find an answer.
