Diagnostics Snap-In
The Diagnostics snap-in brings together the Event Viewer, Service Manager, Reliability
and Performance tools, and Device Manager that were available in the old Computer
Management console. The Event Viewer has been improved significantly. You can still access
your typical Windows event logs, but application- and service-specific logs are newly
added. In addition to being able to view your Windows and application event logs, you
can also create custom views. This goes far beyond the filters that were available in previous
versions to filter through event logs. Custom views allow you to consolidate queries

across one or more Windows logs and define criteria to refine what is being displayed.
Each of these views can then be saved for future viewing. The snap-in also supplies a
new subscription feature that lets you subscribe to event logs of other servers and then
make them available via a local log, which by default is the ForwardedEvents Log. This
is extremely useful if you want a centralized location for viewing events from multiple
servers.
The Services node functions the same as the services MMC snap-in, so you can stop
and start services as well as configure services from here.
