BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows
The BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows (BMC ELA) monitors the system, security, and application events generated by the Windows operating system, translates the events, and forwards the events to a cell. The BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows provides predefined parsing, configuration, event classes, and collectors for organizing events in the Events View.
The BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows offers the same functionality as the Perl EventLog Adapter for Windows without requiring you to install Perl on your computer. The implementation of the BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows differs from that of the other BMC Event Adapters. The following table describes these differences.
