$SYSTEM.ZLOGnn.ZZEVCONF
ZZEVCONF files are configuration files that contain operator log ($0) file
tracking information. These files are defined by EMS collectors.
System operators and field service engineers use this information to monitor
the $0 log file status.
For more information about the Event Management System (EMS), see the
EMS Manual.

$SYSTEM.ZSERVICE.ZZSVnnnn ($ZLOG)
Most of the NonStop S-series server subsystems related to hardware log
EMS event messages to this log. In some cases, messages are also sent to
the $0 operator log. Customers, service providers, and the GCSC use this
log to help diagnose problems with the server hardware.
To view messages in $ZLOG, use the EMS event viewer of your choice:
EMSA●
EMSDIST●
OSM or TSM Event Viewer●
ViewPoint●
Notes:
Operators can alter the volume used for log files.●
If you suspect an operator has been switching between log file
volumes, use the OSM or TSM Event Viewer to look for EMS
File-Switch events. You can use these events to trace your way back
through all of the volumes.
●
When printing from a $ZLOG file, some events might be missing
printing templates. Sometimes events contain additional information not
visible in the template-printed form. You can use the DUMP ON option
of EMSDIST (undocumented) to list all the tokens in an event.
