A Windows log event is a Windows Event Viewer entry monitored by WhatsUp Gold. This could be monitoring when a service is started or stopped, if there was a logon failure, or any other entry in the Windows Event Viewer.

• Date. The date the event was received by WhatsUp Gold.
• Source. The device or program that originated the entry.
• WinEvent Type. The type of message received.
• Payload. The vital data (such as the event name, the IP address that the event came from, date of the event, etc.) that is passed with the event message. Move your mouse over the entry to see more of the payload. The data is limited to the first 100 bytes in the payload. To view the full payload, click the payload entry to launch the Payload Viewer.
