Event Log Explorer Goes 64-bit: Unlocking the Power of Large-Scale Event Analysis

We’re excited to announce the release of a new beta version of Event Log Explorer Forensic Edition (5.6), featuring a game-changing update: native 64-bit support!

This upgrade significantly enhances Event Log Explorer’s capabilities, especially for users working with large event log datasets. Here’s why:

Breaking the Memory Barrier

While Event Log Explorer efficiently loads event logs into a temporary local database, it still requires memory to display each event. Previous 32-bit versions were limited by the Windows architecture, allowing a maximum of 3GB of addressable memory on 64-bit systems (or 2GB on 32-bit). This restricted the number of events you could display to around 4-5 million.

Expanding Your Horizons

To address this limitation, we introduced a feature to display only a specific number of events, providing a manageable experience even with large datasets.

However, some users desired to see all events without restrictions.

With the new 64-bit version, these limitations are a thing of the past. 64-bit Event Log Explorer can access up to 8TB of virtual address space, allowing you to analyze vast event logs without encountering memory constraints.

Experience the Difference

We encourage you to try out this new beta version and let us know your feedback.

Download the new beta today and experience the power of 64-bit Event Log Explorer for yourself!
