Event Log Monitoring

Automated monitoring of event logs and systems to rectify problems and process errors

Event Log Monitoring and Automated Problem Resolution

Text

Traditional event log monitoring solutions watch for problems and notify IT staff when a problem occurs. Some even allow a single program or batch file to be run in response. Automate takes event log monitoring one very important step further. With Automate, IT professionals can quickly build multi-step corrective action tasks. For example, when an application general protection fault is written to the Windows event log, this usually requires a few services to be restarted. With Automate, this can be performed automatically without human intervention.

The key to this functionality is Automate's visual task design system which allows IT professionals to build tasks via the drag-and-drop interface without writing scripts, batch files, or custom programs. No more driving into the office at midnight to reboot servers. With Automate, IT professionals can build Automate tasks to watch for and handle problems automatically.

Event Log Monitoring to Prevent Problems and Outages

Text

Automate takes event log monitoring to the next level, allowing a corrective process to be automatically triggered when a problem is detected. For example, Automate can trigger the task when a system or process threshold (such as CPU utilization or memory usage) is met. If available memory is too low, a task can automatically restart the entire system or specific processes.
