In previous builds users configured syslog filters and actions via the event log Configuration Wizard.  For ease of use syslog configuration has been removed from the Configuration Wizard and moved to its own wizard.  To configure syslog monitoring, highlight the device that contains the syslog from the Downloaded Logs view.  Right click and select Syslog Configuration Wizard.

In previous builds the syslog server was only optimized for database consolidation.  When using the file system to store consolidated logs and the server received a significant number of syslog messages from the same device, the CPU could easily get bogged down writing the new entry to the file system.  The format of the file has been modified to allow for fast file appending.  This new format may however slow down access to the entries within the viewer.

When using the file system to store logs, the initial download of a log would write as many days of entries as defined in the initial download option and ignore the maximum number of days to store (if set) possibly causing the initial download to store more days than configured if the initial maximum days exceeded the maximum number of days to store.  The file system download has been updated to work the same way downloads to database work which is to limit the download to the configured initial maximum number of days to download but also limit the storage to the maximum number of days to store.

The Report Wizard now automatically selects the installed frequency detection HTML and email template when a frequency detection report is created.

In previous builds when changing a report name within the Report Wizard the original report was not modified but instead a new report was created.  Also, if the new name already existed, the report that had the same name was overwritten.   These bugs have been fixed.

We have added the tag <ENTRIES> to enable users to display all entries that pass filter criteria to the message box alert.

The <TIME> tag used to show both the date and time.  We have added the tag <DATE> and now the <TIME> tag only shows the time and the <DATE> tag shows the date.  Please update your actions accordingly.

In previous builds if a user logged in and numerous user interface action were pending they would display continually at login.  When 10s or hundreds of actions were pending, this format was less than ideal.  If more than 10 actions are pending execution upon user login, the actions are now dumped enabling the user to login without countless actions being fired.  Please note the tray icon still displays the red exclamation notifying the user events have passed filter criteria and are pending review.

The default message for message box actions has been changed to include all entries that pass filter criteria.  We have also added the ability for users to set the message box font, font color, and background color.  The message box also now resizes.  Please note if you have already configured a message box action your message content configuration will not be modified.

In previous builds the real-time syslog viewer would stop displaying messages once 1000 messages were received and the user changed the default column sort or sort direction.  This bug has been fixed.

We have added the ability for users to permanently disable the tray icon from within the user interface.  To permanently disable the tray icon, select Options from the Tools menu item.  Select the Display tab.  Under the Tray Icon heading, check Disable tray icon.

The real-time tab within the Report Wizard now displays all selected filter names above the frequency detection configuration section.

The help file has been updated to include information on the new features added.

In previous builds if the application that fired an event log entry did not properly implement event log resource DLLs, the Windows Event Viewer would return a message that noted the application bug and include the message replacement strings.  Network Event Viewer did not show these replacements strings.  The export to file and application display now mimics the OS response to applications that do not properly interface with the OS.  Please note, the Network Event Viewer event log repository has stored the replacement strings since version 2007 enabling export to EVT file format.

We added a dialog to distribute download schedules evenly over a configurable period of time.  The dialog is accessed via the Configuration Wizard.  Please see the help for more information.

The service log view now offers filter capability.  To view this new functionality, select Service Log from the View menu item.

The Log Properties dialog now includes a button to view service history.  When clicked, the service log is opened and a regular expression filter automatically applied to filter out all entries that do not pertain to the configured log.

In previous builds when creating a frequency detection report with multiple filters assigned, the selected filters header within the Filters tab did not list all selected filters.  This bug has been fixed.

Added a MySQL tutorial to the help file.
