EventSentry is a Windows-centric SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and IT monitoring platform. Its main functions are:

Security Monitoring

- Collects and analyzes Windows Event Logs across the environment
- Detects threats, anomalies, and suspicious behavior (exactly like what we've been discussing with the share enumeration detection)
- Correlates events across multiple machines into actionable alerts
- Supports compliance frameworks like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and others

Log Management

- Aggregates logs from Windows servers, workstations, and applications into a central database (PostgreSQL or MS SQL — like your setup)
- Long-term log retention for forensic investigation and compliance auditing
- Normalized searching across all collected logs

System Health Monitoring

- Monitors services, processes, disk space, hardware health
Performance counters and application monitoring
Sends alerts when thresholds are exceeded

Network Monitoring

- SNMP monitoring for network devices
- NetFlow traffic analysis
- Syslog collection from non-Windows devices

Compliance Reporting

- Pre-built reports for common compliance requirements
- Tracks system changes, user activity, and policy violations
