The folder ES\CachedRecord has crossed its threshold limit
Hi. I have a question. When I install trial version of ELA and sends the logs from our devices I received this message on my mail. The folder ES\CachedRecord has crossed its threshold limit. This is not favorable for real-time log processing and alerts. What does it mean? And how this error can be corrected (maybe configured more cash records)
Verbose logging.
Is there a way to include the message detail with the information being e-mailed to a selected user(s)? Thanks.

Can you import multiple application logs?
I'd like to import a large number of Windows DHCP logs that were generated and stored on a remote machine and copied to directory on ELA server. When I attempt to import them I can only select a specific file name, not a directory containing the logs, or a wildcard pattern. Is this possible? If not its not going to be very usable with hundreds of logs to import. Thanks Ian
excluding an IP Range in
Hello, I'm looking for any info on how to run a search on source IPs that excludes a specific IP range. For example, if you were looking for logon attempts from outside your known corporate range, what are the parameters you'd put into the search field? Thanks!
How to separate terms in the 'Match Any' or 'Match All' box
I'm creating a filter for a custom report. Do I use a comma, semi-colon, or space to separate terms in the Advanced tab. Maybe I use "OR" or "AND" although that seems redundant.

ELA Status Access Denied
Greetings! I inherited ELA recently on a new job. The institutions IT Officer instructed me to delete the old hosts and add new ones as well as change the info on a back up server that was moved to a new location with a new IP address.. The sign-in info is valid but it shows as access denied. Knowing little to none about ELA and its inner workings I am seeking an answer to this...is the solution "on prem"? Could an agent have been set up on one of the old servers that was removed and now everything
EventLog Analyzer - Selective erasing of events after certain period of time
Hi. We recently purchased this software and are presently configuring same. We have hundreds of thousands of successful logins (and logoffs) which we want to receive but don't want to preserve for 90 days (which is what we have the 'db retention period' set at). I understand I can filter (either at origin at Windows auditing level or in the Eventlog Analyzer 'Log Collection Filter' ) to completely eliminate the registration of these events but can't find an option to delete these events after a period

What can I do to improve the performance of ELA?
I have installed ELA and use it with a MS SQL Server database running on a different server. I have the ELA app server configured with 16 CPU's, 12 GB RAM allocated to Tomcat server and 4 GB RAM allocated to the log receiver component. However, I still have chronic performance problems. For example, on the main Dashboard, the Log Trend and All Events charts never load. On the Devices dashboard, the Event Count never populates, it always just shows the pulsing dots. What can I do to improve performance?
SQL Server Configuration
Hello, We are evaluating EventLog Manager, and I have a question. When I try to configure a SQL Server database, it is telling me this: To configure DDL/DML Auditing please enable Advanced Auditing Know More The database has an audit already configured so I don´t want to create a new audit object and I also cannot configure the audit to system because it is very large so we needed to configure it as a file Is there any chance to configure EventLog to read the audit files that already exist?

Archived Logon Events
I have an audit today and the client wants to see logon and logoff events from 4 months ago. Our logs are archived after 30-40 days. I tried loading the archived log, but once loaded I can't do a logon or failed logon report, it shows no data. It seems I am only able to do a search of the archived log in it's original format. I did a search using event ID = 4624, Severity = Success and it shows all events with a 4624 ID, but the logs aren't in a very easy to read format and you can't really tell
ELA - Problem with Log Collector Alert
Hi, I have an installation of ELA, but send me this message. Thank you for your help.
Alert Issue - Triggering at incorrect times
I've run into an issue with a couple of my alerts, and the options I've tried are not working. The alert I am having an issue with is set to email when event 4728 occurs that has a certain group in the event message. My original format was EventID 4728 and message contains Group One. This was working fine until someone added Group One to another AD group. In reviewing the event messages I found that the easiest way to achieve this would be to specify when the message contains TargetUserName Group1.
Custom Alerts No Longer Bring Event Message in Alert
Yesterday I updated our ELA to build 11201, and today I discovered that our custom alerts no longer include the event message in the alert emails. For some alerts this is not a big deal, but for our alerts such as "user locked out" it's important to know who is locked out and who was unlocked. When I review the alerts in ELA I no longer see the option to include the event message. I vaguely recall a checkbox option that used to be there, but it's been quite some time since I had to work on these
Custom Alerts, changes and mapping to Windows Event Log string values
So, we recently upgraded to latest version of ELA (11.13.2) and there are considerable changes to the Custom alerts. Things like you can't use a - (dash) in the alert name, custom alerts have a lot of pre-defined options to choose form drop down, etc. My existing custom alert profiles seem to have transferred, i.e. dashes still in name and seem to work, but things like custom fields are not matching windows Event logs. For example, have a custom alert that checks for ANY event log entry with the
