Known Issues/Limitations:

You must configure two local security policies on each SharePoint server that has the SharePoint Central Administration Web Application installed to include the access account you configure in the Bamboo System Log Manager Service Settings. These two local policies are: 
    • Adjust memory quotas for a process.
    •  Replace a process level token
  • If you are using Windows Firewall, make sure that the File and Print Sharing service and the inetinfo.exe program is added and selected on the Exceptions tab of your Windows Firewall settings. These two items must be selected on all servers in your farm that you choose to pull log data from.
