• 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.

• 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

  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.

  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.

  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.
  Library: Use advapi32.lib.
  Unicode: Implementation of both Unicode and ANSI under Windows NT/2000.

• 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.

• Treatment of the Windows event log

  Log Insight is able to ingest a Windows Server logs in the Windows event log format?  Or do I have the event logs Windows can be converted to syslog so that Insight Log to treat them?

  Thank you!

  Or - the Windows Event Viewer is not really a format - it's more of a database. LI ingests events event viewer, but it does not convert in syslog. The result is similar to what you see on WIndows - see attachment.

• Disable the use of the Windows event log

  Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for help.

  Is there a way to disable the Oracle of Scripture in the Windows event log? Or at the very least, ignore errors resulting from Oracle not be able to write to them?

  -Arik

  In windows when AUDIT_TRAIL = OS, verification of documents are written in the same newspaper. Changing this setting to DB if you want to not audit records to be written to the event viewer. Also no matter what your SYSTEM operations will be written to the event log even if your audit_trail is set to DB. You can disable auditing of sys setting AUDIT_SYS_OPERATIONS = false

• 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.

• VCE vblock, LSI_SCSI: Reset for device \Device\RaidPort0 ERROR in VM Windows Event logs

  Hello, I have been a problem for some time and I can't seem to understand this issue. Basically, the VM freezes but returns after 30 seconds.
  I found the problem was present on all data warehouses and even showed errors for for guests (san boot) boot sector. After changing the round robin at the fixed path on data warehouses to use a specific fiber channel switch LSI_SCSI errors were gone on all data warehouses, VM ect... everything worked normally.
  We have an installation program VCE vblock with UCS (blades), Nexus 5ks and VNX.

  So basically, we were troubleshooting paths FiberChannel beside the UCS to the VNX. We have changed ports on the VNX SP but side A was always bad / good B... Compared the configs of nexus for the two, identical configs/features beside the specificities as VSAN ect. Examined the configs for the UCS, but are fundamentally the same with Setup on the side B, but everything looked good. Nothing is defective.
  I noticed Tx errors on ports of module e/s and CRC errors on ports in the Nexus. Thought it might be a bad fiber so I replaced... The problem is always present. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

  Data Center:
  UCS: 5108 Chassis, IO module 2104XP (2.2 (3g)), blades B200 M2, fabric 6120XP interconnections (5.2 (3) N2 (2.23 g))

  5.5 ESXi update 2

  2 nexus 5ks

  VNX 5500

  I found the culprit, SFP. The FPS that were used throughout the entire upward was incompatible and FUBAR would. Not match speeds, single mode when it should have been multi ect. Just all around the nightmare. It's on EVERYTHING from the VNX to IOM simply ridiculous. After completing the gutting of the SFP and the fiber, replacement and then delivered at the point of the chassis of the UCS everything was great. Honestly, I don't know how it worked at all with this configuration. Anyway, if you want something done you have to do it yourself.

• T500 w Vista hangs light w HDD and event log error iastor with ID 9 (Device\Ide\iaStor0)

  Summary

  Edited: This problem was finally resolved by Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.6.3 sent by Lenovo, January 13, 2009

  It is an intermittent problem on 500/T400 with XP or Vista 32.

  Vista 32: the HARD drive light stays on for several minutes, sometimes never goes. The machine crashes immediately, or it may continue to work for a while sometimes sluggish performance w. In all cases the operating system stops not completely so that the HARD drive light is forcing a hard stop with the keyboard, button on / off.

  XP: random BSOD of iastor.sys.

  In the log window of the events is an event of error each time passed than the HDD light grip. Source is iastor, Id is 9, and the text is "the device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not in the expiration time. See below for a description of how show all events iastor error 9 in your event log.

  The problem has appeared since the second or third week of December. The likely source is an update of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, driver version 8.6.0 delivered on 4 December.

  This driver has been after December 4, distributed via Thinkvantage System Update. T400/500 made in December were also shipped with this driver installed. Since then, lenovo has withdrawn the driver, drivers, T400 and page software here and the T500 here page now shows the driver for Vista 32 and XP as version 8.2.4.

  The experience is that this problem is solved in the restaurant or by installing the 8.2.4 version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. If the 8.6.0 driver was installed through system update, go to Device Manager and open the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller. On the driver tab, make sure that 8.6.0 is installed, and then click the roll back button.

  If the T400/500 has been shipped with the 8.6.0 driver installed, first driver to download the 8.2.4 and run the extract in the c:\drivers folder. Update driver then choose Device Manager. On the second screen appearing to ensure you choose "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on the computer' - in the case otherwise, he will tell you, best driver is already installed when you click Next. In the next screen, select Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller and click on "disk" and on the next screen, specify the path c:\drivers\win\imsm.

  PS review iastor in case connection error messages comparing them to the update system install history as follows:

  1. in Control Panel, in administrative tools, open the Windows event log. If this is not the first time, you use the newspaper, you may need to select the local newspaper - the top left - line for the Summary window to open in the Middle, you can maximize this window down.

  2. Select the error line in the Middle window and click Show all instances of this event on the right side. All error events are now listed in the Middle window.

  3. click on filter the current view on the right side. In the new menu, enter 9 in the field of event ID, select ok and then Yes.

  4. you should now have a list of all occurrences of the error in iastor event. Scroll through the list and note the timestamp of the first occurrence of the error.

  5. open Thinkvantage System Update, then select historical spectacle of installation. Scroll the window to the right you see the timestamps. Examine your updates, just before the message in iastor appeared first in your event log.

  __________________________________________________________

  Original entry

  My new T500 a few days after the execution of the first update of the system began to hang once or twice every 24 hours with light on HARD drive and "the device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not in the expiration time" in the registry.

  ,

  iastor is the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (MSM) for their device RAID/AHCI controllers. The Intel AHCI controller listed in as installed for the T500 shows version 8.6.0 Device Manager, which is the current version according to the Intel web site.

  There are zero warnings to disk in the event log errors, I ran the drive diagnostic - the drive is healthy. I don't think that this is a problem of DVD or disc, it's the MSM which is a failure.

  Googling on the MSM error message there is a certain. A batch is since last year and concerns of Intel THAT MSM supporting properly - l/min, this has been fixed in MSM 7.5.0 see http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-025783.htm

  A second batch was held earlier this year for Dell laptops that, without looking into the details, seems to have been caused by an incompatibility between the BIOS and the MSM reported. (Update system to update my BIOS to 1.20 - 1, 01).

  Other solutions to this problem found on the web include the removal of iastor/MSM settings in the Windows registry to disable l/min and turn off AHCI in the BIOS.

  It would be nice to be able to verify that this isn't a hard drive problem by disabling the AHCI and therefore the Intel controller. How to do that in T500 BIOS Setup and what are the implications on the performance of my drive (Hitachi 160 GB at 7200 RPM)?

• Error 1717 event log stopped and does not restart

  Dear friends,

  I thought that I had a problem with Google Music. He stops and give me an error code so I tried to uninstall to reinstall. He hung up to uninstall (I have a screen shot) and gave me the following code.
  "Error code 1717 in DllMain.
  This happens usually when the recorder of events from Windows service is not running. Setup will continue without log status messages.
  Now when Google Music tries to start at startup and at regular intervals, I get the same error Code 1717. I can't uninstall and it will not work.
  Just a day or two before this happened I had problems with the Weather Channel desktop Google gadgets and tried to uninstall that and he doesn't uninstall properly and still won't. I guess it could be where it all started, but don't tell me anything. Maybe he could tell you something of value if you can help me.
  I found a few posts here and there online that suggested:
  1. from the 'Windows event log"manually in Safe Mode, but that has not worked.
  2 remove or change the name of the RtBackup folder in the C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI folder. I tried to do this as "Administrator", but it would not allow me to change the name of the folder or to remove the folder. I have studied also change permissions for the folder, but I have all the permissions as the administrator. It simply cannot afford to make this change.
  The system is a Dell Studio 540 (64-bit) running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. Updates are current as of yesterday. I just checked and I have 2 new Vista install now.
  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
