## Remote PowerShell Session

StifleR provides the ability to execute a remote PowerShell session using the Dashboard that replicates the full functionality of Windows PowerShell as it would be executed locally.

To execute a PowerShell command on the client, type the command into the bottom text box and click the **Execute** button. The output will be displayed in the console output pane.&#x20;

## Remote Performance Counter

StifleR provides remote access to the performance counter for a single device, allowing administrators to monitor and optimize system performance in real time.

The table view allows you to define required categories and set multiple counters at once to analyze performance, compare category data with each other, check live system performance, and search and filter for results and keywords.

## Remote Event Log Viewer

The StifleR provides remote access to Event Logs for a single device. In the left pane, select the event log you would like to view, then select the **icon** in the View column. The right pane should expand to enumerate the events. For more text based detail for the specific event, select the **icon** in the View column.&#x20;

The table view allows you to find relevant information quickly by setting custom filters, enabling disabling empty logs, searching for data by any keyword or simply sorting data by required criteria.&#x20;
