The operating system logs pretty much everything, but it doesn't like to share everything with the user, unless it is absolutely necessary. If you don't want to go through a thick layer of folders to find specific logs, then EventLogChannelsView is definitely something you might want to try. It makes event logging a bit more transparent, by displaying all event channels on your computer, along with a huge amount of information.

Like everything from NirSoft, EventLogChannelsView is offered completely free of charge. You can download the application and install it in under a minute, without making any complicated settings. There is no need to meet any special requirements and you won't notice any kind of impact on your computer's performance.

EventLogChannelsView works straight out of the box. Once you launch the application, it will immediately display all event log channels in a list. Besides the names of the channels themselves, you can find many other details as well, including minimum and maximum file size or the number of events on count.

The application lets you perform a series of actions on each event log channel. From simply bringing up a log file's properties window, you can go on and enable or disable logging for each channel, clear the logs, set a maximum file size and more. Furthermore, the software can be set to overwrite or archive logs, once a file reaches its maximum size.

Another useful feature is the possibility of choosing a data source. By default, the software loads even channels from your own computer, but you can set it to gather events from a remote computer on your network. All you have to do is specify its name on a small window.

EventLogChannelsView makes event logging on your computer more transparent and it gives you more control over all event channels.

Pros

The application draws a clear picture on all event log channels on a computer. It lets you enable and disable individual channels. You can make many other tweaks as well.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to mention.
