Hello,
I can connect to the local windows event registry. But I cannot get retrieving windows events on a remote machine to work. I have tried a number of combinations but it doesn't seem to work. I also notice that the dropdown for authentication type does not show string literals but only a small square symbol. So it is difficult to estimate what kind of authentication I have selected.
When I use the windows management eventviewer console , I can connect to the remote server and view the remote windows events.
Could you give me advice.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Wilke

Glad to hear you got it working Wilke - thanks for letting me know.

I think those are both great points.  I have updated the documentation to be more explicit about how the user credentials should be configured.  We have also just released LogViewPlus v3.1.9 as a BETA release.  This release fixes the 'authentication type' drop down issue you highlight above.  We have also added the ability to use your security context instead of an explicit username and password.  You can now login to a remote Windows Event Log instance without proving a username and password.

Hope that helps.  Thanks again for the great suggestions!

Hello Toby,
Thank you for your swift reaction. I can confirm that the Authentication Type dropdown now shows correctly the different options and that I can connect to the remote eventlog source using my current credentials without having to populate the password field.

Mrs. Wilke Jansoone
