Options
Resolve SIDS
Enables or disables the resolution of SIDS. This can be
disabled to help speed up searches.
Default: Enabled
Auto Fail Unavailable Servers
Skips servers that are unreachable, for instance, they could
be off line, need alternate credentials, or lacking a specific right (security
logs.) If you are searching log files, they could be corrupt.
Default: Enabled
Cache DLLs
At least one DLL must be loaded with LoadLibrary for EACH
event log that needs to get parsed. Instead of unloading each one after I
am done, I save the address and unload them at the end of the search. This could
be disabled to reduce memory utilization.
Default: Enabled
Only Get One Matching Event
This option was added to allow you to easily determine the
last time your servers rebooted.
It could also be used to quickly determine if your servers
are encountering severe problems that require immediate attention and you donÆt
want to wait for a detailed search to finish. Examples might be, Drive Array
Errors, DS Corruption Errors.
Default: Disabled
Throttle CPU
Slows the application down. This can be used to reduce the
network bandwidth that is used.
Popup Warnings for Full Event Logs
If an event log is full, your searches might not find the
events you are looking for, depending on the options you selected, then could
have been overwritten, or never logged. This option alerts you to that.
Default: Enabled
Notify if Criteria Found
If an event is found and written to a log a dialog box is
shown containing the information.
This option is primarily meant for errors that you do not
expect to find but would be critical if they were.
Only one popup will be displayed per server per log file.
Capture Event ID Statistics
Keep track of how many times an event is found in the log.
This information is put at the end of the log file.
Example:
Event ID

Data
Data formatting requires much more memory and space than the raw data. For instance a Dr. Watson record that is 120k, will be almost 650k when formatted.
Print Data As Words
This is a optional portion of an
event record. If it exists it will be printed in this form: 0000: c0020017
If the data contains an error code,
Word form is probably more useful, as in this example.
Print Data As Bytes
This is a optional portion of an
event record. If it exists it will be printed in this form: 0000: 17 00 02 c0
