On these devices, you configure subscriptions that pull the desired logs from any number of source computers. One or more devices can be set up as Event Log collectors. HTTPS is also supported for secure messaging. One collector can forward to another and process many events per second, making forwarding very scalable. There’s no need to install a collection agent, as Event Log forwarding uses technologies built into Windows Server. Windows Server 2008 and Vista or later can be configured as event collectors, while Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later are supported sources. In this article, I’ll show you how to set up Event Log forwarding in Windows Server 2012 R2, configuring a source server, and another that acts as a collector. Forwarding uses the DMTF WS-Eventing standard, which is part of the open Web Services-Management (WS-Man) protocol built in to Windows Server as part of the Windows Management Framework (WMF). Event Log forwarding was introduced in Windows Server 2008, allowing system administrators to centralize server and client event logs, making it easier to monitor events without having to connect to individual servers.
