WinRing Process

WinRing is a mandatory process for Atera which checks if the CPU/HDD/Memory loads are within the Threshold item value you assigned to a machine. In case these are exceeded, Atera can then raise an alert in the console. 

As a result of this continuous process, the Event Viewer will record an entry once every few minutes within the System Windows Logs (event ID 7045):

Note: These are informational logs that describe the successful operation of an application/service and do not put any load on the machine. 

Create a custom view in Event Viewer

WinRing is a mandatory service installed across all our customers base that are monitoring CPU/HDD/Memory, therefore, it cannot be disabled. 

As a workaround, you can create a custom view and exclude event ID 7045.

To create the custom view:

1. In the System event log, click on Filter Current Log in the left action pane.

2. Under Includes/Excludes Event IDs, replace <All Event IDs> with your filter needs:

• If you want only a certain event, enter that event ID
• If you have multiples events, use commas to separate.
• If you wish to exclude an event ID, use a minus "-" sign. In this case, we will use "-7045" (without the quotes)

3. Click OK.

4. In the action pane you can now click Save Filter to Custom View.
