GFI EventsManager is an award-winning events monitoring, management and archiving solution, that supports a wide range of event types such as W3C, Windows events, Sylogs and SNMP traps generated by devices such as firewalls, routers and sensors.

GFI EventsManager uses event processing and filtering technologies to identify key events out of the box. Advanced event processing rules allow you to filter out unwanted/trivial events and generate alerts on key issues. GFI EventsManager provides real-time alerting when critical events arise, suggests remedial actions and if applicable triggers corrective actions by automatically launching scripts and executable files. The built-in processing rules provided with the product, add significant value to its functionality aspects, because the information is very difficult to find and requires levels of expertise which are not necessary available to end users.

All information about appearing events is stored centrally in SYSLOG journals or in your network management system constructed on the basis of SNMP. You will not have to look through the performance logs of your servers manually. EventLog Translation Service does it for you. EventLog Translation Service forwards the appearing events at the same time they occur. Thus, in case an emergency situation occurs, you will be notified instantly.
