1.10 Monitoring Events

The ZENworks system generates messages each time a management task is performed. For
example, when the ZENworks Agent enforces a policy on a device, it generates an event message.
Or, when the ZENworks Server is unable to register a new device, it generates an event message.
Depending on the severity level (normal, warning, or critical) of the event and the item type (device,
bundle, policy, etc.) for which the event was generated, the event can be displayed in various
locations in the ZENworks Control Center.
The following sections provide a brief overview of event monitoring and message logging:
Section 1.10.1, "Hot List," on page 31
Section 1.10.2, "Event Log," on page 31
Section 1.10.3, "System Event Log," on page 32
Section 1.10.4, "Message Logs," on page 32
For more information about message logs, see

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.
