Logs , located in the upper left corner of the window. The EVENT LOGS
window opens.

Operating System event log
StorView is capable of passing all the events to the host operating system event
log. Accessing the operating system event logs displays events generated by
StorView. Each event is identified by an event ID. In the tables for the events,
you see the event type followed by its ID. The ID is in hexadecimal format and
its equivalent decimal value in parentheses. The event number is how the events
are displayed in the operating system event log, and the decimal value is the
format the OS event log uses to display the event ID.
You can double-click the specific event in the operating system log. A window
with a plain English description of the event opens.
Also, you can use the tables to locate the event ID and determine the possible
cause of that event and suggested actions to take, if necessary.
StorView events are placed into the application event logs.
To turn off OS event logging:
1
Edit the following file using a text editor:
<install directory>/db/server.ini
2
Change the field UseOsEventLog from true to false .
UseOsEventLog = true means event logs are sent to the OS Event log
UseOsEventLog = false means event logs are not sent to the OS Event
