What is Event Viewer?

One of the administrative tools in Microsoft Management Console, Event Viewer maintains logs about program, security, and system events on your computer. You can use Event Viewer to view and manage the event logs, gather information about hardware and software problems, and monitor Windows security events.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP have the built-in capability to alert a user about significant occurrences in the system or in an application. Some critical events, such as a full hard drive or an interruption in your power supply, are noted with an on-screen message.With this Event Viewer, you can troubleshoot various hardware and software problems and monitor security events for your computer. You can also archive logs in various file formats.

Windows NT, 2000, and XP have three basic types of logs in which events are recorded:

• System log: The system log contains events logged by system components. For example, the failure of a driver or other system component (like a service) to load during startup is recorded in the system log. The type of events logged by the system is predetermined by Windows NT, 2000, or XP.
• Security log: The security log can contain valid and invalid login attempts as well as events related to resource use, such as creating, opening, or deleting files or other objects. For example, if you are using the User Manager to enable login and logout auditing, attempts to log into the system are recorded in the security log. The administrator of the computer chooses what is monitored for the security log.
• Application log: The application log contains events logged by applications. For example, a database program might record a file error in the application log. Application developers decide which events to monitor.

All users can view the system and application logs. The security logs are accessible only to the system administrators.

How to View Event Details

To view the details of an event, follow these steps:

1.	Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, then click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management . Or, open the MMC containing the Event Viewer snap-in.
2.	In the console tree, expand Event Viewer, and then click the log that contains the event that you want to view.
3.	In the details pane, double-click the event that you want to view. The Event Properties dialog box containing header information and a description of the event is displayed. To copy the details of the event, click the Copy button, then open a new document in the program in which you want to paste the event (for example, Microsoft Word), and then click Paste on the Edit menu. To view the description of the previous or next event, click the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.

How to Interpret an Event

Each log entry is classified by type, and contains header information, and a description of the event.

Event Header

The event header contains the following information about the event:

•	Date The date the event occurred.
•	Time The time the event occurred.
•	User The user name of the user that was logged on when the event occurred.
•	Computer The name of the computer where the event occurred.
•	Event ID An event number that identifies the event type. The Event ID can be used by product support representatives to help understand what occurred in the system.
•	Source The source of the event. This can be the name of a program, a system component, or an individual component of a large program.
•	Type The type of event. This can be one of the following five types: Error, Warning, Information, Success Audit, or Failure Audit.
•	Category A classification of the event by the event source. This is primarily used in the security log.

Event Types

The description of each event that is logged depends on the type of event. Each event in a log can be classified into one of the following types:

•	Information An event that describes the successful operation of a task, such as an application, driver, or service. For example, an Information event is logged when a network driver loads successfully.
•	Warning An event that is not necessarily significant, however, may indicate the possible occurrence of a future problem. For example, a Warning message is logged when disk space starts to run low.
•	Error An event that describes a significant problem, such as the failure of a critical task. Error events may involve data loss or loss of functionality. For example, an Error event is logged if a service fails to load during startup.
•	Success Audit (Security log) An event that describes the successful completion of an audited security event. For example, a Success Audit event is logged when a user logs on to the computer.
•	Failure Audit (Security log) An event that describes an audited security event that did not complete successfully. For example, a Failure Audit may be logged when a user cannot access a network drive.

How to Manage Log Contents

By default, the initial maximum of size of a log is set to 512 KB, and when this size is reached, new events overwrite older events as needed. Depending on your requirements, you can change these settings, or clear a log of its contents.

How to Set Log Size and Overwrite Options

To specify log size and overwrite options, follow these steps:

1.	Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, then click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management . Or, open the MMC containing the Event Viewer snap-in.
2.	In the console tree, expand Event Viewer, and then right-click the log in which you want to set size and overwrite options.
3.	Under Log size, type the size that you want in the Maximum log size box.
4.	Under When maximum log size is reached, click the overwrite option that you want.
5.	If you want to clear the log contents, click Clear Log.
.	6.Click OK. How to Archive a Log If you want to save your log data, you can archive event logs in any of the following formats: • Log-file format (.evt) • Text-file format (.txt) • Comma-delimited text-file format (.csv) To archive a log, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, then click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management . Or, open the MMC containing the Event Viewer snap-in. 2. In the console tree, expand Event Viewer, and then right-click the log in which you want to archive, and then click Save Log File As. 3. Specify a file name and location where you want to save the file. In the Save as type box, click the format that you want, and then click Save. The log file is saved in the format that you specified.
