EventLogger
EventLogger is one of the RET servers like [Link], [Link], [Link], ... which is configured to listen

Functionality
The EventLogger concurrently receives events from mutiple sources, local or remote.
There are Java/C++ APIs that allow other application to send events to the EventLogger
No password protection is required. Main reason is speed.
Events are defined by integer codes which imply a severity level, message format and list of
parameters e.g.
Event code: 1002
Severity: Information
Message: XXX on YYY - Connected to resource ZZZ
Parameters: XXX, YYY and ZZZ
Where
XXX is process
YYY is host
ZZZ is resource
Events received can be processed in multiple ways e.g. saved into files, sent as email, inserted into
database.

the event logger is easy to install, in order to logging, at least, event into database, just change
the parameter under the following sections:
registry
[Link]
It is good pratice that resource name should be exactly [Link] as default logger
