System Event Log

The system event log records events that have been detected on your system. If you experience problems with your system, you should check the system event log (see Table 2-2) for information to assist in troubleshooting. Events are recorded in two columns, giving an event type and event data to provide more specific component information. Table 2-6 presents the possible log entries, causes, and possible corrective actions.
