    Article summary

    New Data Pipeline

    This article covers this report as you see it from the new data pipeline. Some features described are visible only when viewing the new report format. For details, visit VDI and DaaS Reports.
    You can view On-Premises reports and Top Insights reports only in legacy format.
    The Top Windows Errors report shows historical information about the rate of Windows errors recorded on machines in your organization and how these errors were distributed throughout the month you select. In addition, the report lists the top 10 Windows errors in your organization. The data is collected by ControlUp Monitors running Windows Event triggers that you can configure in the Real-Time Console.

    Use the report to answer questions such as:

    • What are the most common Windows errors in my organization?
    • Which machines suffer most from Windows errors?
    • Do I have a problematic server in my organization?
    • Do recent configuration changes to my environment cause any new issues?

    Filter Results

    To filter the list of errors, select a month from the time range dropdown. By default, the selected time range is the previous month. You can select a time range from the previous 12 months. Without the limits of hourly or daily data, this enables a broader understanding of error trends over longer time frames than available in other reports.

Each bar on the chart represents the total number of error events recorded for a specific day. Note sudden spikes that might signify issues in need of remediation.
