Morphius143 -> Security event log entries (8.May2008 2:10:03 AM)

Hello All

We have a slight problem whereby the security event log on some of our monitored servers is filling up with logon/logoff events related to the service account GFI uses. It appears to be doing this 50times a second (give or take) for an hour or two. Checking the last updated times on the GFI checks doesnt show anything for these servers being checked.

We are monitoring approx 250 servers but only some have this problem and it appears to be the ones which are checking things other than Pings (e.g. RAID errors, windows updates etc).

The service account we are using is listed as a Local Adminitrator. Rather than changing our Audit policy I was wondering if there is another reason for this? I have attached the event log entry below.


Successful Network Logon:
User Name: ~svc-gfi
Domain: INT
Logon ID: (0x0,0x28B22EB3)
Logon Type: 3
Logon Process: Kerberos
Authentication Package: Kerberos
Workstation Name:
Logon GUID: {09300a49-a816-9128-dbb0-30f42676d6f9}
Caller User Name: -
Caller Domain: -
Caller Logon ID: -
Caller Process ID: -
Transited Services: -
Source Network Address: ***.**.***.**
Source Port: 0

Thanks for any suggestions!

Update: By the process of elimination it would seem that the "Single bit memory error" check for the event log is the one which is causing this problem, I am going to be testing a few other checks, but thought this might help if anyone has any ideas as I am fresh out.

in order to monitor things other than icmp thingies, it is nesessary for gfi to log on.

i think it is not possible to do this otherwise.

so the only solution is to edit the audit policy





correct me if i'm wrong
