Cannot start service on Local computer Windows event log. 4201 error: The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider.

Hi rung_windows7,

Renaming or deleting the following file seems to work for some users:

Follow-up for certain Windows event log error

Hello

In the past I posted here, request technical Support and has tried many times in Foglight to install to the top of the cartridge from Windows to monitor events in the log events Windows for some, but I've never had very good luck. Recently, I was responsible for implementing Foglight to monitor ALL our servers SQL Server with the following scenario:

Event type: Information

Event source: MSSQL$ SE

Event category: (2)

Event ID: 833

Date: 02/01/2013

Time: 09:34:52

User: n/a

Computer: AZPH-SRV-SQL51

Description:

SQL Server has met 2 exceedances of IO requests last more than 15 seconds to complete the [i:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\EVVSGVAULSTOREGROUP_1_1LOG.ldf] file in the database [EVVSGVAULSTOREGROUP_1_1] (11). The operating system file handle is 0 x 0000000000001680. The offset of the e/s, last long is: 0 x 00000005263400

I know I have to put in place a LogFilter, but should I just configured for each server on which an instance? There are more than 100. In addition, advice on the implementation of the LogFilter would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I never really managed to set these correctly.

Thank you

A journal of events rule already exists. In the attachment, you can see an example of the alert generated by the event log rule. The rule also has an action to send e-mail to the variable registry SYSADMIN.

I advanced and forced an event occurs for example. I did have to define what event to look for. I left by default does not include. It's been a while since I used the event tracking feature, but I think that if you exclude offshore you can then include specific events.

You can set the event category to monitor in a Windows_System agent startup properties.

There are all the other newspapers that I can get the question?
Maybe any help?

I can't say since when vCenter does not work, perhaps because any Windows Update has been installed, but then I have to find anything through google I guess...

Stop "Windows event log" stops Browser Hijack

Hi, I'm under Windows 7 SP1 and IE 11.

Whenever I have start my PC, go on the Internet and launch IE, the first page which is to www.globalsearch.com. I tried almost all the options, reset IE, remove IE and add IE return, remove using all kinds of software malware/antivirus/scanners... u name it... It is detected as a browser ONLY on Internet Explorer browser hijacking. Can I get cleaned up in the registry, etc., removed to quarantine... but then the next time I start my PC the browser hijacking appears again during the launch of IE.

The ONLY thing so far that was able to prevent browser hijacking is STOPPED "to the Windows event log. Managed to get it solved this way after troubleshooting for 2 weeks.

My question is whether or not it is safe to STOP permanently Windows event log in order for me to not have this Browser Hijack on IE happen? If not, is there anyway I can 'REFRESH' to the Windows event log?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I managed to remove it by understanding how Windows and other services event viewer which depended on. The culprit was inside the Task Scheduler. (Once you clear the Windows Event Viewer... Task Scheduler stops as well... so no browser don't hijack).

Inside of the Task Scheduler, so I had to check the task that has been loaded at startup and I managed to find the culprit. I've removed from the Task Scheduler, then proceeds to the go to the directory of the EXE, it was loading and removed manually in safe MODE.

Who did the lap :)

Thanks for the reply Ramesh. Very much appreciated.

Monitoring windows event logs
Hi all

I'm testing Hyperic, ultimatly I want to use it to monitor my servers WIndows clients under a managed services arrangement. To do this, I need to be able to control at least:

* Free disk space
* Windows event log in the system and Application logs (alert for warnings, notify errors)
* Available WIndows updates
* Updated anti-virus status (I think that the best way to do that through WMI for Windows Security Center).

I have most of the working group above (I didn't start on the WMI stuff yet), but I'm struggling with the event logs. I've attached a screenshot of the configuration of the platform. It seems to work to a certain extent, but I see only events information, any information, warning and error that would involve the confgiuration (I suppose that the order is, from lowest to highest, information, warning, error).

I would like to appreceate help for this. I think that Hyperic is a great product that will meet my needs, but I just need to overcome these problems with the event log.
We have excellent documentation on Event Manager.

Please let me know if you still have any questions.

Thank you

Place to query windows event log?

Hello:

Is it possible to query the CVI windows event log?

I don't see all the Windows event recorder functions available in the windows SDK provided with CVI 8.

What are the functions of windows recorder that I refer:

http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa385784 (vs.85) .aspx

I am interested in the capture of application errors from the event logs on the stations running Teststand and CVI.

Thank you
Dave

You can use the ReadEventLog function. It is documented in the Windows 2000 RC2 SDK distributed with CVI FDS 8.5.1. Do not know if it is documented in the SDK software distributed with CVI 9.x

ReadEventLog

The ReadEventLog function reads a large number of entries in the specified event log. The function can be used to read the journal entries in chronological order or reverse chronological.

BOOL ReadEventLog(
  HANDLE hEventLog,                // handle to event log
  DWORD dwReadFlags,               // how to read log
  DWORD dwRecordOffset,            // offset of first record
  LPVOID lpBuffer,                 // buffer for read data
  DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead,      // bytes to read
  DWORD *pnBytesRead,              // number of bytes read
  DWORD *pnMinNumberOfBytesNeeded  // bytes required
);

Parameters

hEventLog

[in] Handle to read the event log. This handle is returned by the OpenEventLog function.

dwReadFlags

[in] Specifies how the read operation is to move forward. This parameter must include one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ	The read operation derives from the record specified by the dwRecordOffset parameter. This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ.
EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ	The read operation is in order since the last call to the function ReadEventLog using this handle. This flag cannot be used with the EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ.

Value

Meaning

EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ

The read operation derives from the record specified by the dwRecordOffset parameter.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ.

EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ

The read operation is in order since the last call to the function ReadEventLog using this handle.

This flag cannot be used with the EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ.

If the buffer is large enough, more than one record can be read at the specified seek position. You must specify one of the following flags to indicate the direction for successive read operations.

Value	Meaning
EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ	The journal is read in chronological order. This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ.
EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ	The journal is read in reverse chronological order. This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ.

Value

Meaning

EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ

The journal is read in chronological order.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ.

EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ

The journal is read in reverse chronological order.

This flag cannot be used with EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ.

dwRecordOffset

[in] Specifies the registration number - the journal entry in which to begin the read operation. This parameter is ignored unless dwReadFlags includes the EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ flag.

lpBuffer

[out] Pointer to a buffer for the reading of the event log data. This parameter cannot be NULL, even if the nNumberOfBytesToRead parameter is null.

The buffer will be filled with an EVENTLOGRECORD structure.

nNumberOfBytesToRead

[in] Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer. This function will read as whole submissions contained in the buffer. the function does not return the partial entries, even if there is room in the buffer.

pnBytesRead

[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of bytes read by the function.

pnMinNumberOfBytesNeeded

[out] Pointer to a variable that receives the number of bytes required for the following journal entry. This count is not valid unless ReadEventLog returns zero, and GetLastError returns ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.

Return values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

When this function returns successfully, the playback in the error log position is adjusted by the number of records to read. Only a number of set of event log records will return.

Note Configured for this source file name can also be the file name configured for other sources (several sources may exist under subkeys under one log file). Therefore, this function can return events that have been recorded by several sources.

Requirements

Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later version.
Windows 95/98: Not supported.
Windows CE: Not supported.
Header: Declared in winbase.h; include windows.h.
