Monitoring event messages
An event is a significant occurrence in the system or in an application that requires
administrators to be notified. The operating system writes notifications for these events to
a log that can be displayed using the Windows Event Viewer. Three different log files
are generated: application, security, and system.
1. To access the Event Viewer, select Programs, Administrative Tools, Event
Viewer.
2. Select the log to view (System, Security, or Application) from the left pane of the
Event Viewer. The following information is displayed for an event in the right pane
of the Event Viewer.
● Type—A classification of the event, such as Error, Warning, Information,
Success Audit, or Failure Audit.
● Date—The date the event occurred.
● Time—The time the event occurred.
● Source—The software that logged the event, which can be either an
application or a component of the system, such as a driver.
● Category—A classification of the event.
● Event—Shows an IDnumber to identify the specific event. The Event helps
product-support representatives track events in the system.
● User—Identifies the user that logged the event.
● Computer—The name of the computer where the event occurred.
3. To view a detailed description, double-click an event. The additional information is
displayed in the Event Properties screen.
Note:
For additional information on customizing the Event Viewer (such as
sorting the display, filtering the display, and so on), see your Windows
reference guide or the Windows online help.
