PowerChute Event Viewer

The PowerChute Event Viewer provides a simple tool for exploring the event log file generated by PowerChute Personal Edition. The latter is an application that can create and manage power management modules to save energy and securely shut down a personal computer in case of power outage in the attempt to avoid accidental data loss.

While monitoring the system’s state, PowerChute generates an event log file saved in DAT format. With the PowerChute Event Viewer, you can easily browse all the events that have occurred. It is possible to do so with PowerChute itself, but only a summary of the events is presented. Parsing all the events and getting the details you need must be done via the Windows event viewer in the absence of an application such as PowerChute Event Viewer.

The application requires no installation and is immediately available for use. The main window is simple, allowing you to open the eventlog.dat file from the PowerChute installation folder.

The PowerChute Event Viewer displays information about the event’s date and time, the power source, the event code and its description, all in a well-organized table, providing quick filtering and sorting options. The results can be easily exported to Excel for further use, in XLSX format.
