2.2.3 Event log information
PFM - Agent for Platform can collect the various types of event log information in Event Viewer under Windows' Administrative Tools as user-defined records and manage them as Event Log (PD_ELOG) records.
The various types of Windows event log information that can be defined as user-defined records can be classified into the following two types:
-
Standard event logs (Application, Security, and System)
-
Custom event logs (Directory Service, DNS Server, and File Replication Service, for example)
A custom event log is added when Active Directory, for example, is installed through Windows component addition.
When no user-defined record is specified for the event log information using the collection data addition utility, and if Log=Yes is specified for each record property in PFM - Web Console, standard event logs (Application, Security, and System) are unconditionally collected as PD_ELOG records.
Using the collection data addition utility, you can, for example, specify a custom event log to be collected and exclude the standard event logs from the collection targets.
