Log Profiles

Configure which log types are collected from which servers. Log Profiles define the log source, log type, and target servers for Windows Event Log collection.

Overview

Log Profiles in Cloudmon define which servers should have their logs collected, what type of logs to collect, and which specific log categories to include. A log profile must be created and assigned to target servers before Windows Event Logs or other log types will appear in the Cloudmon log views. Once a profile is active, the collected logs are accessible under Logs → Windows Event Logs for a summary dashboard, or under the specific server's WEL tab for per-device log history.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Configurations → Log Profiles.
