Limiting the number of alerts?
So I have an alert set up to notify me if there are 5 denied attempts through the firewall (log coming from syslog) in a 5 minute span. However if a device goes haywire, tries to connect through the firewall 4 times every second, I'm still gonna get 10,000 messages in like a half hour (message 5 comes in, has it been less than 5 minutes? send! message 6 comes in, has it been less than 5 minutes? send! ...) So how are other folks dealing with this? When they'd prefer to see the same alert email only
ELA installed on Linux Redhat ES5 and SNARE for Windows
Hi, I just installed ELA version 5 on Linux Redhat ES5. It works fine when it receives log from Cisco router and Cisco switch. But when I tried to collect eventlog from Windows 2003 which AD is running using SNARE for Windows. I found the problem that ELA detected it as Linux host not windows host. Raw logs can be collected but not be able to analyzed. Therefore I can't see any reports related to it. Any suggestions ? Best Regards, Kai :cry:

Setting up custom event logs
Hi everyone, I am trying to setup custom event logs for a server and its not working. I have set a specific alert for failed power supplies, event id 1125. I am not receiving any notifications when I perform a manual power supply failure on the redundant power supply units. However, when I enable All system event errors default configuration it polls all error alerts. I can confirm that I have all security credentials setup correctly as the default 'All System Errors' event log rule is working fine.

Compliance Reports showing "No Data Available"
Hello, I have been running the free version for a couple of weeks now to test it.

running ELA as a non-admin account
Hi, has anyone managed to run ELA as a non-admin account? The support Guys - who had been very helpful so far - are trying to tell that it's impossible. I'm nearly certain that's not right.

mysql root password change
Hi there, we've just accuaired manageengine. First thing I did after I isntallation was the MYSQL root password change (it's blank by default).

The web interface stoped working though. I assume that the password can be chaged somewhere in config

Freezing the heading section on the Hosts and Apps tabs
Two items that I have come across after adding more than 15 hosts: 1.) Is it possible to "freeze" the light blue heading section on the hosts view on the home page? Once you start scrolling down the list of hosts, the heading section scrolls off the screen. 2.) Also, the "view per page" option does not seem to hold. Is there any way that this can be made a "global" or default changeable setting, so that the view per page stays put? Thanks!
