On a regular edition of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system, Log Smith is a very good event log analysis tool – use it to access Windows event logs. On a Server Windows edition, Log Smith is also an operations manager – use it to access System Center Operations Manager 2007 and R2 events.

To get started with Log Smith you will have to download a 12.8MB msi file. Run said file and a simple setup wizard will show up and guide you through the installation process. A few clicks later, the Log Smith application will be up and running on your Windows-powered machine.

Losmith features a ribbon interface that can be customized: you can hide the ribbon out of sight, you can pick what buttons to see on the Quick Access Toolbar, and you can pick one of several themes the application supports. The advanced user that will get Log Smith to fully utilize the functionality it has to offer will not have any problems getting accustomed to the interface.

The functionality Log Smith has to offer will truly shine in the hands of an advanced user that can properly understand what the application can do. Regular users don’t really need powerful operations manager and Windows event log analysis tool like Log Smith. Someone who needs to get deep into and analyze event logs and events from System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007 and 2007 R2 on the other hand, most definitely needs to get Log Smith.

You will not have to part with your money to enjoy the functionality Log Smith has to offer – the application is freeware. But if you enjoy using it, consider making a donation to support its development.

This powerful and free tool is a must have for anyone who needs to analyze Windows event logs and SCOM 2007 and 2007 Rs events.

Pros

The application’s interface is customizable. Log Smith is a powerful tool to analyze Windows event logs and events from SCOM 2007 and 2007 R2. Log Smith is freeware.

Cons

None that I could think of.
