Event Viewer Documentation

Event Viewer

 

The Inventua EventViewer Module for DotNetNuke displays application and system events from the event log within your DNN portal.

Installation and Compatibility

This module is installed as part of the Inventua DNN System Monitoring kit.

Configuration Options

Once you create a EventViewer instance, select the Options menu item from the module settings menu to display the Options page.

Server The DNS name of the server.  If you want to refer to the DNN server, use the value "." (a single dot).
Username

The username to submit to WMI.  The user must have access rights to WMI namespaces on the selected server.  Use the wmimgmt.msc snap-in on the server to configure WMI access rights.  The username is not required and is not used when monitoring the same server that DNN in running on - it is only used when reading events from a seperate server. 

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;325353 for more details.
Password The password to submit to WMI.
Domain The domain of the username to submit to WMI.
Event Log The name of the event log to show (System or Application).  If you want to see both the system and application event logs, add a second instance of the EventViewer module to your tab.
Number of Results to Display The number of results to display.  You should always set this value (or use the "display events from the last 48 hours only" option), as reading the entire event log is a very time-consuming operation.

Display events from the last 48 hours only

 Displays recent events (from the previous 48 hours) only.
