You can use the service control dialog to manage the EventSentry and the EventSentry Heartbeat service.
Event Log Agent Control
The "Event Log Agent" is the main service monitoring the event log, services, diskspace etc..
Use the START/STOP/RESTART buttons to control the service state, the INSTALL/UNINSTALL buttons can be used to manually install or remove the service.
The checkboxes Files/Service indicate whether the necessary files and the service are properly installed.
Heartbeat Agent Control
The "Heartbeat Agent" service is used to monitor remote hosts and remote Event Log Agents.
Use the START/STOP/RESTART buttons to control the service state, the INSTALL/UNINSTALL buttons can be used to manually install or remove the service.
The checkboxes Files/Service indicate whether the necessary files and the service are properly installed.
Debugging & Testing
To verify if the service is operating correctly you can press the Test Now button. This will create three event log records that should be detected by the service as long as you are monitoring the Application event log and Information, Warning or Error event records.
The Current Version shows the version of the service as it was reported by the service when it was started the last time.
Debug Logging Level
EventSentry writes status messages to the event log and/or to a log file (%SYSTEMROOT%\eventsentry_svc_X.log) upon request. Activate logging if you are experiencing problems with the service. Light logging is recommended but not mandatory.
