Event Viewer
The Event Viewer page allows authorised administrators to inspect Windows event log data from an online managed device in Lanview Studio.
It is intended for support investigation, operational troubleshooting and reviewing device events from Studio.
Where to find Event Viewer
Open the Device Window for a managed device, then select Event Viewer.
The page shows event log information returned from the selected device. Available filters depend on the current Studio build and the user's permissions.
Viewing event logs
Event log viewing is per-device.
Administrators can use event data to investigate application errors, Windows warnings, system events and other device-level information reported by Windows.
Lanview does not replace specialist event log or forensic tools. It provides a convenient view for common support and administration tasks.
Permissions
| Permission | Allows |
|---|---|
device.event_viewer.view | View Windows event logs from managed devices. |
The current Event Viewer page is for viewing event data. It does not clear the Windows event log on the remote device.
Common problems
Events are missing
Check the selected log, filter and time range. The expected event may be in a different Windows log or outside the current filter.
No events are returned
Confirm that the device is online and that the user has permission to view event logs. Then refresh the page or repeat the query.
The page is slow to load
Large Windows logs or broad filters can take longer to return. Narrow the time range or filter where possible.
Guidance
Use Event Viewer as a support and operations tool.
For formal security investigations, use the organisation's evidence handling process and the appropriate Windows or security tools.
