Events and Event Logs
Introduction
When an enabled, defined event occurs in the EmergeTM DM2000 Desktop Manager (Management Appliance), it is saved in the event log. You can display the event log content or view details about
an individual event log entry. If you wish, you can also export event logs to Microsoft(R) Excel for further analysis.
It is also possible to change the event log’s retention period and export the event log’s content.
NOTE: It is not possible to manually delete event logs. The Management Appliance automatically deletes logs
which have expired. See Changing the Event Log Retention Period on page 40.
Event Severity and Categories
Events are classified by severity and category.
