6.1 Viewing System Messages

The ZENworks system generates normal (informational), warning, and error messages to help you
monitor activities such as the distribution of software and application of policies.
Each ZENworks Server and ZENworks Adaptive Agent creates a log of the activities associated
with it. These messages are displayed in ZENworks Control Center in a variety of areas:
System Message Log: The system message log, located on the System Information page
(Configuration tab), displays messages from all ZENworks Servers and Adaptive Agents
within the zone.
Device Message Log: A device message log, located on the Summary page for a server or
workstation, displays messages generated by the ZENworks Server or the Adaptive Agent. For
example, the message log for Workstation1 includes all messages generated by the Adaptive
Agent on Workstation1.
Content Message Log: A content message log, located on the Summary page for a bundle or
policy, displays only the ZENworks Server or Adaptive Agent messages associated with the
bundle or policy. For example, the message log for Bundle1 might have messages generated by
three different ZENworks Servers and 100 different Adaptive Agents.
