What is DDert?

DDert is an acronym for the Down and Dirty Eventlog Reporting Tool.  DDert is a utility for automatically gathering and monitoring eventlog records from Windows NT, XP, 2000, and 2003 computers.  Eventlog records are collected and stored in an MS SQL database.  The monitoring program allows the records to be reviewed, sorted, filtered, and grouped so that Network Administrators can closely monitor their computers without the tedious task of visiting each machine and manually reviewing their event logs.

How will DDert help me?

Reviewing the eventlogs of your business-critical servers and workstations is a necessary step for any conscientious Network Administrator.  But, because the reviewing process is tedious and time consuming, even the most diligent Network Administrator can let this process fall behind.  It is also easy to overlook key eventlog records amid the mass of records that are generated.  DDert solves both of these problems by collecting the eventlog records automatically and presenting them in a sorted, filtered, meaningful format.  And, since DDert is operating in real-time, the Network Administrator can react proactively to server and workstation issues before they become down-time problems.
