Application Log Files and Properties
So when application or system crashes
or does not function the way it should, check those logs to see what
is happening. Remember that on Windows NT you can have services,
background processes that do not interact with a user. Those logs are
a means for such services to tell you when something gets wrong.
Logs write to to files, right click
on the name of the log and choose properties to see which file.

Log Size Settings
Please notice those Log size settings. Logs grow very quickly so you need to have some control. Typically, youll choose oldest log events to be overwritten when the log size limit is reached. The option Do not overwrite events (clear log manually) is good if you dont want to loose any events.. This way you be sure to have your system behavior documented in every point in time. But the draw back is that you have to react when the log gets full. One way to do this is to right click the log name and choose Clear all events. Before the log is being cleared you get asked to save the current log to another file for later use. |
If you need an explanation of a particular
event and error code, there will be a link in an event for a help center.
