DESCRIPTION:

This shows you how to configure Windows so that you can overcome the limitation of many monitoring tools that retrieve events because most of them can only retrieve from the “basic 4 logs” (ie  System, Application, Security, Setup).  Unfortunately, back in the Windows Vista (circa 2007) days, Microsoft changed the event log architecture slightly and made an additional type of logs called “Application and Services” which many software vendors now use. This “subscription” feature can be used to copy events that occur into the new logs to one of the basic 4 mentioned above. In most cases, it’s appropriate to use the “Application” log.
