Perl EventLog Adapter for Windows

The Perl EventLog Adapter for Windows is a Windows-only adapter written in Perl that runs in the mcxa process. It monitors the system, security, and application events generated by a Windows operating system, translates the events, and forwards the events to a cell. This adapter is obsolete and is supplied for backward-compatibility only.

BMC Software recommends that you use the BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows instead to monitor the Microsoft Windows Event Log. The BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows is installed separately. It uses a binary application and runs as a separate service. For more information, see BMC Event Log Adapter for Windows.

BMC Software recommends leveraging PATROL agents for Windows Event Log monitoring, instead of the Windows Event Log adapter. The PATROL agent provides comprehensive monitoring of the Windows operating system and is not limited to Event Log monitoring.
