Hi!

Is it possible to do live monitoring of remote server ? If I start LogViewer on my workstation and press live monitoring button, it says

Microsoft Sharepoint is not installed on this machine

Thanks for a nice app.

Best reagards,
Rustam

Rustam you can do live monitoring only on a SharePoint farm node.

I am running a standalone implementation on Sharepoint 2010 Server, Windows 2008 R2 and I am getting this error.  Initially worked just fine, installed some components to search pdf's and preview documents and now i get this error each and every time i try to see the live logs... any ideas what might be going on?  any configs i can look at to tweak it back into shape?

Dave try running the viewer with admin privileges.

Thanks for that info, I debugged the source and it looks like the wss registry key is at fault, commented that out and its working fine again.

Hello Dodge,

Could you please explain exactly where you commented the wss registery key, because I have the same problem.

Also to do live monitoring on remote server I guess I should enter the url (http://mysharepointwebsite.com )of my sharepoint server... How to do that ?

Do we need permissions to be able to remotly monitore the logs ?

thank you

wijm entering a url somewhere won't make the log viewer automatically start monitoring logs of a remote server. The way it is implemented, it can not monitor remote servers. Only local sharepoint farm.

This did the trick... it's built to look for 2007 first, then 2010... i don't care about 2007 in my work, so I can comment that stuff out and just focus on 2010.
