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.
  3. To view a detailed description, double-click an event. The additional information is displayed in the Event Properties screen.

    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.
