What is the difference between Mark and Fast Mark, and what are they for?
A Mark is simply something you can append to a log you are monitoring to help you bookmark a point in time, add a reminder or an annotation. It is particularly helpful for large or fast changing logs, but you can do it whenever you want. When you mark the log, you will be asked to enter some text. If you are marking a text log, the mark text is appended to the end of the file. If you are marking an event log, an Event ID ( 100 ) for the Source “LogWatcher” is added, and your text is stored as an insertion string. Note that you can only write to NT Application logs: Security and System are restricted. A Fast Mark is just a predefined Mark you can add without having to type it in. It is configurable under the LogWatcher settings.
