Windows Events

Windows NT and later versions provide you the possibility to record information about their activity in a log file. When an event is logged, the event and its message are appended to the Windows Application Event Log file, the date, time, user, and other identifying information. These events can be viewed with the Windows Event Viewer and also in the CM console through this node.

Using the event logs, you can gather information about hardware, software, and system issues and monitor Windows security events.

Windows records at least three kinds of events which are accessible through their subnodes such as:

  • Application
  • Security
  • System

Depending on the operating systems and the installed software you can find more event logs here for IE 7, Microsoft Office, and so on.
