38.1 The Event Log Page

The Event Log page gives you an overview of the recorded events. The Event Log lists the event
messages generated by the ZENworks
ordered by date, with the latest date first. Each event listed includes the following information:
Status: An indication of the event's severity:
The icon indicates an event has executed successfully.
The icon indicates an exception condition that might cause problems but might not need
immediate attention.
The icon indicates that an action could not be completed because of a user or system
error, and it needs immediate attention.
Event: Something that happens, such as a successful installation, that triggers a message to be
created and sent. Click the event message to display additional details. You can use the message
details window to acknowledge the message, which causes the message to be cleared from the
event log.
Data: The date and time the event occurred.
Advanced: A page showing both acknowledged and unacknowledged events. You can sort
events by status, date, or whether an event has been acknowledged or not. You can also
acknowledge events from this page.
