Configure the Server Monitoring - Critical Events Report

The Critical Events Report is available for servers only and contains a list of all the Critical Events that occurred on servers across the entire customer base in the preceding 24 hours for each of the monitored Windows Event Logs. Reviewing the report is an easy way to check all your clients each-and-every morning.

To configure a Critical Events Check, see Critical Events Check and to add non-critical Error Events to the Critical Event Exclusion List, see Create a Critical Event Check Exclusion List.

You can configure the Critical Events Report to be automatically emailed to the required recipients, or you can view it on the All Devices view.

The time and date recorded for a discovered Event is based on the local time of the device and not the All Devices viewtimezone.
