Windows Event Logs

Windows Event Logs

The Windows Events plugin by Netdata makes viewing, exploring and analyzing Windows Events simple and efficient.

The plugin automatically detects all the available channels and offers a list of “Event Channels”.

By default, it aggregates events from all event channels, providing a unified view of all events.

Visualization

You can start exploring Windows event logs on the “Logs” tab of the Netdata UI.
