To monitor logs from Computer 1 on Computer 2, what is the first step in configuring Event Subscriptions?

The first step in configuring Event Subscriptions to monitor logs from one computer on another involves setting up subscriptions on both computers. This process requires configuring the source computer (Computer 1) to send its log data and the destination computer (Computer 2) to receive that data. By establishing these subscriptions, you enable the forwarding of events from the source to the destination, which is essential for monitoring.

While enabling Event Viewer on both computers might seem necessary, it is not explicitly required as a first step. Event Viewer is already a built-in feature of Windows, and its functionality is independent of the subscription setup process. Installing monitoring software or rebooting the computers may be beneficial for specific monitoring tools or troubleshooting, but they are not part of the initial event subscription configuration workflow. Hence, the correct approach is to ensure proper configuration of the subscriptions on both systems, allowing for effective communication and data collection between them.
