1.10.1 Hot List

The Hot List displays all events that generated an error (critical or warning). An error event remains
in the list until you acknowledge it.
To access the Hot List:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Home tab.

1.10.2 Event Log

Each device, policy, and bundle has an Event Log that displays all of the event messages generated
for the item, regardless of severity level (normal, warning, or critical).
The Event Log for a device displays all events that applied to the device. For example, if a bundle or
policy is applied to the device, the Event Log displays a message for the event.
The Event Log for a bundle or policy displays all events that applied to the bundle or policy. For
example, if a bundle is individually applied to four devices, four messages are displayed in the Event
Log, one for each device.
To access an Event Log:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, Bundles tab, or Policies tab, depending
on whether you want to view events for a device, bundle, or policy.
2 Click the desired device, bundle, or policy to display its Summary page.
The Event Log is located near the bottom of the Summary page.

1.10.3 System Event Log

Each ZENworks Server has a System Event Log that displays all of the event messages generated
for tasks performed by the server, regardless of the event's severity level (normal, warning, or
critical). For example, it displays messages for all bundles that the server has applied to devices that
it manages.
To access a System Event Log:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, then click a ZENworks Server to
display its Summary page.
The System Event Log is located near the bottom of the Summary page.

1.10.4 Message Logs

The events that are displayed in the ZENworks Control Center can also be logged to files on disk.
The ZENworks Agent can log event messages (the ones that appear in a device's Event Log) to a file
on the device's local disk; message logs for all managed devices can also be rolled up to a central log
file on the ZENworks Server.
The ZENworks Server can log messages (the ones that appear in the server's System Event Log) to a
file on the server's local disk.
