Event Log Collection

Windows Event Viewer integration

Introduction

The Windows Event Viewer shows a log of application and system messages, including errors, information messages, and warnings. 

Flexxible|SUITE collects critical and error events ocurred in machines running the Flexxible|SUITE VDIClient Service.

Add specific events recollection

Sometimes critical and error events are not enough. If you want to add more events, you can add specific event id in settings and Flexxible|SUITE VDIClient Service recollect them.

To configure it, use the following settings:

  • SendEventLogsInterval: (minutes) How often the VDIClient service sends Windows event logs to the server.
  • EventLogIdsToRead: List of event logs ids separated by ';' that are read by VDI Client together with the error and critical events.
  • EventLogIdsToReadDomain:  List of Active Directory domain names separated by ';' to which the parameter 'EventlogIdsToRead' applies. If the parameter is empty it applies to all the domains.

For example:
