3rd Party Viewer for VMware Horizon View Administrator Events?

[DanS6913]

Does anyone know of a third party viewer for viewing the events displayed in the Monitoring-Events window of the VMware Horizon View Administrator console?  We're on 5.3, and since we are up over a 1000 desktops now the view fills up pretty quickly.  Currently configured to display the most recent 2000 events with a time period of 2 days.  I know it's possible to increase the timeframe/number of displayed events, but we've seen console performance get sluggish after doing so.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Two of the options I know of are:

Using an external  dedicated syslogger and searching via the native syslogger interface.

Alternatively, you can use SQL queries to search through the events database. I do this a lot to hunt down specific user activity. Here's an example of the query I use that gets the last 3000 events for a specific user. Bolded sections need to be changed to fit your DB name and search string. Change to Select * to get everything.

SELECT TOP 3000 [EventID]

      ,[Module]

      ,[EventType]

      ,[ModuleAndEventText]

      ,[Time]

      ,[Source]

      ,[Severity]

      ,[Node]

      ,[Acknowledged]

  FROM [viewEvents].[dbo].[VDIevent_historical]

  WHERE ModuleAndEventText Like ('%joeusername%')
