Event Log Reports

Event Log Reports enable you to scan the consolidated log database for specific entries. This report is typically used by compliance and audit professionals to audit domain controllers and stand-alone servers.

Event Log Reports optionally use Regular Expressions to parse Event Log Entries, extract values, validate subject and target accounts in Active Directory (when applicable), then finally filter entries using Event Log Filters. This report is supported on all locales.
