Event Archiver 7 and above even provides support for EVTX files -
the new log format introduced in Windows Vista eventing. Not ready for
Windows Vista? No problem - your log files probably aren't ready
either. Dorian's exclusive LogRefiner ™ Technology enables
you to seamlessly work with EVT and EVTX files side-by-side. That means
no forced upgrade. Move to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 when
you, management, and the auditors are ready.
Here is something else management and the auditors will like: By letting our event log collection software automatically manage your event log consolidation, you are
free and better able to initiate a more aggressive event log auditing policy on your network. For example,
you can enable verbose logging on server applications such as Microsoft Exchange
Server, since event log storage size is no longer a concern.
Deploying
Event Archiver greatly reduces time, cost, and headaches in your
organization's event log auditing and compliance efforts. It's exclusive agent optional architecture is just one way it does this.
Compliance with internal security standards and regulatory acts such
as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) increasingly call for the collection
and storage of event log files. Event Archiver automates this, and
administrators can start cutting through event log entries instead of
wasting time and resources collecting and storing event logs manually.
If
requirements call for both the collection of log files to a central
store as well as the ability to leave "active" event log files wrapping
for review by server administrators, that isn't a problem with
automated "leave-a-copy" collection capability.
And, if your organization is concerned about implementing and
maintaining a database for log file retention, Event Archiver provides
automatic database maintenance. As you can see in the free Event
Archiver evaluation software, improvements such as this are making
compliance with log collection and storage requirements easier than
ever.
