  • Detaching USB devices
  • Enabling or disabling users
  • Killing processes by ID or name

SolarWinds SEM can give you advanced IT search functionality that goes beyond simple search and query languages. With SEM, you can effectively perform ad hoc IT searches and deeper forensic analysis by searching a range of data, from high-level events and key terms to specific log details.

Security Event Manager also supports your ability to visually explore data using word clouds, histograms, bubble charts, and tree maps to more easily identify important issues and drill down quickly with a few mouse clicks.
