Introduction
Purpose of
Event Log
By using an event log, you can pinpoint any system problems, assess the severity
of the problem, and view the history to the problems. At that point you can close
out the event causing the problem, or you can investigate and take care of the
problem using the information provided by the event log.
Definition of
Event Log
The event log displays a table listing all of the events for either all managed nodes
in the DEFINITY system, or events specific to selected parts of a managed node.
An event is an occurrence, condition, or problem that the system detects and
records in the event log. Conditions that can cause an event to appear in the
event log include:
• Data collection failure
• Report not generating
• Managed node not meeting an established threshold
• Trunk group not meeting a threshold service
Types of Event
Logs
Performance Management provides several types of event logs. Each event log
contains the same fields, but differ on what type of events they contain. The
following table lists the different event logs and what they contain.
