You can now manage all recorded Windows Events directly from the new [Windows Event Log](/v1/docs/windows-event-log) in DEX, giving you a more powerful and flexible way to manage events across your organization. The **Events** pane provides a real-time aggregation display of selected events from your managed machines. ## Add an Event Log By default, **Application** and **System** logs are displayed in the Events pane. You can only add event logs if they are listed in PowerShell. To view the log list, open an elevated PowerShell prompt and run the following command: ```powershell [System.Diagnostics.EventLog]::GetEventLogs() ``` **To add an event log**: 1. Right-click the **All Events** folder and select **Add an Event Log**. ![Right-click action menu on the 'All Events' folder.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28327%29.png) 2. Provide the log name **exactly** as it appears in the Windows Event Viewer. In our example, we add the log name "*Microsoft-Windows-AppModel-Runtime/Admin*" that resides under the **Applications and Services Logs**. ![Log Name highlighted in the Windows Event Viewer.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image-4SSDYIEX.png) Limitation Only administrative logs are supported. Operational logs **can't** be displayed. ## Supported Event Types The following event types can be displayed in the Events pane: - **Error events** - **Warning events** - **Failure Audit events** ## Retention Period By default, events are preserved in the **Events** pane for a retention period of 60 minutes. To configure this value, click the **Event** button on the **Settings** ribbon. Under the **Performance** tab you can set the value as needed. ![Events Pane Settings window. The setting 'Events Retention Period (minutes)' is highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/EventsPaneSet.png) You can perform the following actions in **Events Pane Settings**. ## Filtering Events You can configure parameters according to which events will be displayed. To save your changes, click **Apply**. The following filtering methods are available: - **Excluded Events**. To set a condition for the Real-Time DX Console to ignore an event, if matched, add an [**Event Log Filter Rule**](/v1/docs/events-pane#add-to-filter) . For example, setting a rule which specifies **Event ID** "33" will drop all future events with the ID number 33 from the Console. ![Excluded Events settings.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ExcludedEvents.png) - **Event Type**. You can choose to ignore errors, warnings, and/or audit failure events. ![Event Type settings. The options 'Collect Error Events', 'Collect Warning Events', 'Collect Audit Failure Events' are selected.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/EventType.png) - **Frequent Events Filter**. By default, ControlUp is configured to ignore events that appear repeatedly for a configured amount of times during the event retention period. The default value is 100, so an event that appears 100 times within an hour will fall under the **Frequent Events Filter** category and will no longer be reported. When an event reaches this threshold, a pop-up notification appears in the left bottom corner of the console. You can hide this notification by selecting the **Disable Frequent Event Filter Notifications** checkbox. ![Frequent Events Filter settings.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/FrequentEvents.png) **Note** If you turn off the default **Frequent Events Filter**, your ControlUp Real-Time DX Console might accumulate a large number of events that can dramatically increase the amount of RAM consumed by the Console. You can mitigate this condition by clearing events or by decreasing the [Event Retention Period](/docs/events-pane#retention-period). - **Performance**. You can set the retention period in minutes for which the events remain displayed in the **Events** pane. The above filtering mechanisms only affect future events. To remove events from the current console view, click the **Clear** or **Clear All** buttons in the **Home** ribbon of the **Events** pane. ![Home ribbon of the Events pane. The 'Clear' and 'Clear All' buttons are highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/ClearEvents.png) ## Event Actions From the **Events** pane, right-click an event to view the available actions that you can perform on it: ![Rick-click action menu on an event with the options 'Add to filter', 'Remove from thsi view', 'Search in', 'Remote Desktop to machine', 'Launch Event Viewer', 'Add Trigger'.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28317%29.png) ### Add to filter The selected event details will be used to create a new filter rule to prevent similar events from appearing in the **Events** pane. Use the **Event Log Filter Rule** window to configure the rule before applying it. ![Event Log Filter Rule. The example shows Event ID 6038, Source LsaSrv, Log Name System, Event Type Warning.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28318%29.png) ### Remove from this view The selected event(s) will be removed from the current view. This will not prevent similar events from appearing in the **Events** pane in the future. ### Search In: (Google, EventID, Microsoft TechNet) Right-click an event and select **Search In** to search for more event details in selected search engines. This feature is available only for ControlUp Hybrid Cloud environments with internet access on the console machine, not for ControlUp On-premises (COP). The event details are automatically populated in the wizard. ![ControlUp Search In Window.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28319%29.png) Click **Yes** to open your default browser and the search is completed. ![Browser search bar with event details.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28320%29.png) ### Remote Desktop to machine Use this action to switch to the **Remote Desktop** pane and establish a Remote Desktop connection to the machine from which the selected event originated. ### Launch Event Viewer This action opens the Event Viewer remotely to the machine of the selected event. **Note** This action requires both RPC access and administrative privileges on these machines(s). You might not be able to display the events on machines that do not meet these prerequisites. ### Add Trigger You can create a new trigger based on the selected event. This creates a Windows Event trigger. 1. Right-click the event and select **Add Trigger**. The **Edit Trigger** window appears ![Rick-click action menu on an event. The action 'Add Trigger' is highlighted.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/image%28321%29.png) 2. Optionally, in the **Edit Trigger** window, define a new trigger name. Click **Next** to see the trigger configuration. 3. ControlUp creates the filter criteria automatically. If you want to edit additional filter criteria, click **Filter editor...** or click **Next** to proceed with the trigger configuration. ![Trigger configuration window displaying filter criteria that match the selected event.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/EditTriggerFilter.png) 4. Define the scope for which you want to apply the trigger and click **Next**. 5. Create follow-up actions you want to run if the trigger conditions are met. Click **Finish** to complete. 6. The new trigger is now displayed in the **Trigger Settings** list. ![Trigger settings list.](https://cdn.document360.io/098100b7-b9da-4bea-b4b9-017140ab863e/Images/Documentation/TriggerSettings.png)
