What's this odd logon failure I see every day? Have you checked your scheduled tasks yet? Logon type 4 is a batch logon, and most likely coming from a scheduled task (the fact it happens at the same time would also indicate that it's some sort of job). Can you post the complete event here, such as event id and any other relevant information? |

How can I monitor memory usage for a windows-based JVM and trigger an alert if it gets too high? This is definitely possible, but I'd like to point out here that setting up performance counter alerts/triggers is somewhat crude, since it will trigger an alert as soon as that threshold is met, even if it just met for 10 seconds. This may work somewhat well for counters that do not change often (like memory usage), but would not work very well for more volatile counters like CPU usage. Monitoring solutions like EventSentry are a bit smarter, and let you configure the time period over which the threshold has to exceed a limit before they trigger an alert. This helps reduce false positives. |

Task Scheduler just decides it doesn't want to run a task anymore I think when Tamerz says "it", he means Windows, that is, the code that Microsoft employees wrote. I don't think he's trying to imply that the computer is self-aware, as you seem to keep suggesting. Trusting his analysis, I'd assume there is a bug, and I don't think your comments about Terminator were particularly helpful. |

Clean up event log by script Just out of curiosity - why would you want to do this? You can just set the logs to overwrite themselves. |

Task Scheduler just decides it doesn't want to run a task anymore Sounds to me he was just trying to find out if other people are running into the same issue he is. Not sure if thermite is going to help him solve the issue. |

How to monitor the size of files in Windows folder? Thanks for clarifying. It should be easy to adapt one of our existing scripts to check for that as well and issue an alert accordingly. |

Permissions needed to read event log messages remotely? @Ansgar doesn't seem to know what he's talking about in this case. You have clearly identified that this is a permissions issue. |
