Study Notes
- Event Viewer enables viewing events from multiple event logs.
- Event Viewer enables saving useful event filters as custom, shareable views.
- Event Viewer displays 5 log categories: Application, Security, Setup, System, and Forwarded Events.
Event Log Categories
- Application logs contain events logged by applications or programs.
- Security logs record valid/invalid logon attempts and access events.
- Setup logs contain events related to application setup.
- System logs contain events logged by Windows system components.
- Forwarded Events stores events collected from remote computers.
Event Levels
- Information level indicates a change in application.
- Warning level indicates an issue that could impact service or lead to a more serious problem if ignored.
- Error level indicates a problem that might impact functionality external to the triggering application/component.
- Critical level indicates a failure from which the triggering application/component cannot automatically recover.
Event Subscription
- Event Subscription specifies events to collect from systems.
- Event Subscription collects events from multiple remote computers.
Performance Analysis
- A bottleneck is a component that limits overall performance.
- Baselines help users identify performance problems.
- Tools to analyze performance include Task Manager, Performance Monitor, and Resource Monitor.
Resource Monitor
- Resource Monitor analyzes system resource usage by processes and services.
- Resource Monitor's tabs: Overview, CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network.
Performance Monitor
- Performance Monitor is an MMC snap-in for analyzing system performance, included in Computer Management.
- Data Collector Sets (DCS) organizes performance counters and event data.
Windows Defender
- Windows Defender protects against viruses and malware.
- It provides real-time protection, notifying you if malware attempts to install itself.
- Real-time protection uses signature detection and heuristics to monitor and catch malware behavior.
Windows Defender Scans
- Quick Scan checks areas most likely to be affected.
- Full Scan checks all files on the disk, including running programs.
- Custom Scan checks only specified locations and files.
Windows Defender Items
- Quarantined Items are blocked but not removed from the computer.
- Allowed Items are items permitted to run on the computer.
- All Detected Items provides a list of all items detected on the computer.
