Retrieve Source IP Address and Computer Name

When the logon id contained in the monitored event can be linked (correlated) to an earlier logon session, then EventSentry will include the IP address and/or host name. In the case that only the host name or IP address are available, a DNS (reverse) lookup will be performed to gather the missing information.

 

Due to the nature of DNS lookups, this information should be used with caution and might not be 100% accurate.
