Event Viewer for HiPath 5000 (Eventlog)

Introduction
The Event Viewer (Eventlog) is one of the tools supplied with NT-based operating systems
(Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, etc.). The Event
Viewer administers logs that record information on programs, security, and system events on
the computer. You can use it to display and administer eventlogs, to gather information on hard-
ware and software problems, and to monitor security events.
You can use this standard tool to obtain status information for the HiPath 5000 server and any
application server present.
All events associated with the server(s) and its (their) applications are saved. The events pro-
vide a quick and, above all, time-specific overview of all relevant actions (status, information,
warning, error, etc.).
The tool itself handles the event entries. You can specify the length of the event file, the validity
of events in days, the reaction when the maximum size has been reached, and the display filter,
for example.
You can save the resulting event file (log file) under any name.
Starting the Event Viewer
Start the Event Viewer from the Windows Start menu: Start/Programs/Administrative
Tools/Event Viewer
The Event Viewer associated with other application servers present can be opened via the Hi-
Path 5000 server. To do this, select the relevant server in the network browser under Opera-
tion/Connect to another computer/Other computer.
Configuring the Event Viewer

System log: information on all operating system components
