Agent monitoring and Windows event logs


Agent 2.36 introduces improved Windows event logging. This is intended to make troubleshooting more user-friendly, especially for remote monitoring via RMM tools.


Previously, the agent essentially dumped everything being recorded to the agent log file on disk out to the Windows event logs.


Going forward, the improved logging system will split this information:

  • Detailed diagnostic and debug-level logging will continue to be written to the agent log files for forensic analysis
  • Windows event logs will now be tuned to focus on more human-readable content and specific events and notifications.  

This split will allow documentation of all specific event log cases and remediation steps recommended to address failures, where appropriate.   


Agent 2.36 introduces the first wave of changes to agent logging to reach this goal, covering basic agent state and status changes, as well as the most common backup failure cases.
