Adding ManageEngine Applications

EventLog Analyzer can be integrated with various other ManageEngine Applications such as:

• ADAudit Plus
• ADManager Plus
• Endpoint Central
• ADSelf Service Plus
• ITOM Solution Products
• Password Manager Pro
• ServiceDesk Plus

These integrations help users receive debug, server, and security information, that can be analyzed and displayed as actionable reports on EventLog Analyzer. Apart from this, integration with applications like Password Manager Pro enables users to correlate activities that are tracked within Password Manager Pro like the sharing of passwords, and events within Windows environment, like starting a remote sessions. This ensures early threat detection, mitigation and response.

Through the integration with ManageEngine's Endpoint Central, IT teams can generate alerts from Endpoint Central logs such as information on software and patches installed, policy modifications, and remote actions performed by Endpoint Central administrators. The integration also facilitates administrators to conduct forensics, correlate logs from both products, detect patterns, and run a response workflow to mitigate identified threats.
