User registrations on the log Knowledge Base (KB) crossed the 30,000 mark, fast making the website a primary source of log and event management expertise on the Internet. Prism Microsystems, developers of the EventTracker solution that enables "logging in depth"™ -- announced it recently. Disponible at http://kb.eventlogmanager.com, the EventTracker KB is a complimentary, searchable, vendor-neutral collection of cause-resolution data on over 18,500 events created by hundreds of sources including Windows, syslog, application specific logs and CISCO systems.

    To analyze event logs generated by critical applications, devices and systems is the first step in effectively managing a company's IT infrastructure.  The inherent obscurity of event descriptions and the lack of a standard logging format, however, makes it tedious to get intelligence from log data emitted by various sources.

    Steve Lafferty, Vice President, Marketing, Prism Microsystems, stated: "Our aim, with the EventTracker Knowledge Base, is to make event log data readily understandable by all IT professionals for quick and efficient troubleshooting and to speed issue resolution time."

    The KB offers accurate explanations of event messages as well as vendor neutral cause-resolution data and links to helpful articles, a convenient 'one-stop' solution for a company's log analysis and management requirements. Events can be searched for by any combination of ID, event source or fragments of the details field. The website is updated by a dedicated team at Prism Microsystems and users can contribute new event definitions as well. "

    Lafferty added: "A unique feature of the EventTracker Knowledge Base is that users can also request our experts to research a particular event not already cataloged."
The KB is maintained by Prism Microsystems since 2002 and is fully integrated with EventTracker, the company's enterprise-grade event management solution, sharing valuable knowledge within the software to allow users to configure custom rules for analysis and reporting while giving a convenient look-up for event types. Purchase of EventTracker, is not required to access the KB.

    The company was formed in 1999 and is a privately held corporation with headquarters in the Baltimore-Washington high tech corridor. The company offers business-critical solutions to correlate, consolidate and detect changes that could impact the performance, availability and security of a company's IT infrastructure.
