p.s. this "Also if I connect correctly and then go to a log entry I can't view any details of the entry; am I doing something wrong?" is for the Channel logs. Is this because they don't use "Message" field rather General\Details?

Doesn't seem to be working properly at least from a UI design perspective.
First thing - it seems to need a username and password in this dialog - why won't it connect with current credentials? If you assume you don't need the credentials because your current ones are what you need and click get logs or ok you get local logs returned. In most other net apps I use I don't explicitly need to specify credentials unless I want to use different ones. Couldn't you rework this dialog so that the default was current credentials and the with radio button toggle to text boxes for different? Also maybe you need to disable the OK button until you have clicked Get Logs?

Also if I connect correctly and then go to a log entry I can't view any details of the entry; am I doing something wrong?

Are you not getting that list, or are you having a different issue? Thanks! ]]> RE: Event Logs Don't Show Microsoft Sub-Folder https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/event-logs-dont-show-microsoft-sub-folder/?ID=541be2d0-3a5f-433f-996c-afcbb12df81f#14 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:09:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/event-logs-dont-show-microsoft-sub-folder/?ID=541be2d0-3a5f-433f-996c-afcbb12df81f#14 LogFusion Keith,
So the next thing is to allow the enumeration or the log channels when you click Get Logs in the remote connection dialog.
Maybe this dialog needs a little redesign?

We've just released 3.0 Beta 5 (http://www.logfusion.ca/Download/Beta/), and you can now access the new Event Log Channels :)

LogFusion uses .NET 2.0, but it looks like .NET 3.5 is needed to access the Microsoft sub-folder in the Event Logs. So, we're still evaluating our options to see what the best way to go about fixing it up is. I'll be sure to post an update when we have one.

Just so you know it doesn't show for local connections either.

I've tested and confirmed that here as well. We'll look into it and I'll post an update as soon as I have one.

It does not show the "Microsoft" sub-folder entry point under Applications and Services Logs section. Just look in a Event Viewer mmc. So not sure how to get to it.

  • Click Open > Open Remote Event Log
  • Enter the computer name of the remote machine
  • Click the Get Logs button and the Event Log drop-down should get populated
  • Select a log from the Event Log drop-down and click OK
One thing to note is that LogFusion must be running under an account that has permissions to open the Event Logs on the remote machine.

Let me know if you have any other questions! ]]> Event Logs Don't Show Microsoft Sub-Folder https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/event-logs-dont-show-microsoft-sub-folder/?ID=541be2d0-3a5f-433f-996c-afcbb12df81f Mon, 07 May 2012 21:15:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.logfusion.ca/Discussions/View/event-logs-dont-show-microsoft-sub-folder/?ID=541be2d0-3a5f-433f-996c-afcbb12df81f LogFusion Jon & Keith,
Just installed and added Pro license. I am unclear how to get to (monitor) remote logs; e.g. Microsoft-Windows-FailoverClustering-Manager/Admin or any of the MS Windows App & Service logs.
For the application to be of any use it would need to be able to do this and be easy to setup?
