Hi there,

are you referring to the relevant Windows settings? If so, please consult the specific Microsoft documentation or ask this question in a Microsoft forum.

If you need help with our Event Log (Windows API) Sensor or WMI Event Log Sensor, please specify your question.


Kind Regards,

Hello, you can monitor the windows event logs using two different PRTG sensors just as Matthias mentioned above. The Event Log (Windows API) Sensor monitors Event Log entries using the Windows application programming interface (API). And the WMI Event Log Sensor monitors a specific Windows logfile via Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

Those are the links for the Manuals of both sensors. You can configure the one that adjusts to what you need to monitor.
