About event log

The Viewpoint Event Log page lets you view major events that have been reported to the Moab event logs. By default, the event log is maintained in the Moab statistics directory and rolls on a daily basis. This information is pulled by MWS and stored in the events.log file. MWS pulls the event log information and displays it on the Event Log page in Viewpoint.

Because your system can potentially have a very large number of items in the event log, the Viewpoint interface has searching, sorting and paging tools to help you find the items in the log you are looking for (see Searching, sorting, and filtering events).

Access the Event Log page by navigating to Administration > Event Log. For more information, see Fields: Event Log.
