Custom Reporting - Merged Event Log Reports

The merged event log report shows events from one or more connected computers, merged so that all events are presented in chronological order. Furthermore, events can be merged by log type.

For example, you could use a merged event log report to examine all events from a web server farm together, or look at all security events across all networked computers, to see if any suspicious patterns emerge.

To create a merged event log report, right-click on the Merged Event Log Reports node within the main Custom Reporting node in the management console, and select New | Merged Event Log Report. The New Merged Event Log Report wizard will lead you through the steps to create a merged event log report.
