The Event Logger shows detailed information about used applications and windows, and keys pressed. User idle time is also measured and included in the event logger window.

Event Logger Data

Data is stored first by date, then by user name. Under each user name you find the following fields:

• Window Title: the full title of the window in use.
• Path: the name and path of the application in use. To show the full path check the option Show Event Path on the Options menu.
• Time: the time of the event.
• Details: the keys pressed on the window. It may also show other entered input depending on the filter in use.

Right-Click Menu

• Filter: The filter submenu allows you to define which users -or user groups- will be monitored and other options:
  • Users... : Checked usernames -and/or user groups- will be monitored. By default: All Users .
  • Only Mouse Events: Check to monitor only applications and windows triggered by using the mouse, not the keyboard.
