computers running Symantec AntiVirus.
You can configure the Alert Log to do one of the following:

■
The Alert Log displays a list of alerts with the following information about each
alert:
Alert Name

In addition to the basic information the Alert Log dialog box displays, you can
access more detailed information about each alert in the Alert Information
dialog box.
Each server stores its own copy of the Alert Log locally. When you select a server
and view its alert log, you're actually retrieving a copy of that server's Alert Log
to your local console. Therefore, if that server is not powered on or available,
you won't be able to retrieve its Alert Log for viewing.
