Windows Event Viewer

In the Windows operating system, 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 file that can be displayed using the Windows Event Viewer. Three different log

files are generated: system, security, and application logs. Storage Mirroring related events are sent

to the application log and are available for viewing through the Event Viewer.

1.

To access the Event Viewer, select Programs, Administrative Tools (Common), Event

Viewer.

2.

To view the events logged for applications, select Log, Application. The following information is

displayed for each event in the Event Viewer window:

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 event number to identify the specific event. The Event helps

product-support representatives track events in the system.

User—Specific text that exactly matches text in the User name field. This field is not case

sensitive.

Computer—The exact name of the computer where the logged event occurred. This field is

not case sensitive.

3.

To view additional details, double-click an event. The additional information is displayed in the

Event Detail screen:

Type—A classification of the event by the Windows operating system, such as Error, Warning,

Information, Success Audit, or Failure Audit.

Description—A description of the event.

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.
