Event Subscriptions

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

An event subscription uses a query to filter events that are found in a set of event sources, and the events are delivered from the sources to the computer that started the subscription. The delivered events are stored in the local computer event log.

Managed Entities

The following is a list of the managed entities that are included in this managed entity:

Name Description

Event Source

An event source is a remote computer that delivers events to the Event Collector service based on the query in the event subscription. Each subscription uses the same query to connect to multiple event sources.

Aspects

The following is a list of all aspects that are part of this managed entity:

Name Description

Event Subscription Activation

Each event subscription can deliver events from multiple sources. Each subscription may also have an expiration date. When a subscription is activated and the subscription expiration date is still in the future, the subscription will attempt to receive events by connecting to the remote sources. As long as the subscription can connect to at least one source, it becomes active.

Receiving Events from an Event Subscription

Each event subscription can deliver events from multiple sources. The events are received from the remote event sources when those sources are active. Problems that occur with receiving events from subscriptions indicate that the events on the event source are published at a rate that cannot be handled by the event forwarding or receiving software.
