The Event Log for a bundle or policy displays all events that applied to the bundle or policy. For
example, if a bundle is individually applied to four devices, four messages are displayed in the Event
Log, one for each device.
To access an Event Log:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, Bundles tab, or Policies tab, depending
on whether you want to view events for a device, bundle, or policy.
2 Click the desired device, bundle, or policy to display its Summary page.
The Event Log is located near the bottom of the Summary page.
1.10.3 System Event Log
Each ZENworks Server has a System Event Log that displays all of the event messages generated
for tasks performed by the server, regardless of the event's severity level (normal, warning, or
critical). For example, it displays messages for all bundles that the server has applied to devices that
it manages.
To access a System Event Log:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Devices tab, then click a ZENworks Server to
display its Summary page.
The System Event Log is located near the bottom of the Summary page.
1.10.4 Message Logs
The events that are displayed in the ZENworks Control Center can also be logged to files on disk.
The ZENworks Agent can log event messages (the ones that appear in a device's Event Log) to a file
on the device's local disk; message logs for all managed devices can also be rolled up to a central log
file on the ZENworks Server.
The ZENworks Server can log messages (the ones that appear in the server's System Event Log) to a
file on the server's local disk.
For more information about message logs, see Part IX, “Event Monitoring,” on page 507 .
1.11 Generating Reports
You can generate reports to display bundle and device information, such as the bundle delivery
information for each device or the devices registered in the last 24 hours. The ZENworks Control
Center provides several predefined reports and lets you create new reports. You can export the
reports to XML, CVS, or HTML formats.
ZENworks Linux Managements lets you generate reports specific to your Dell PowerEdge servers.
To generate a report:
1 In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Reports tab.
The Reports list includes three default folders: Bundle Reports , Dell Reports , and Device
Reports . Each of these folders contains a set of predefined reports you can run. You can also
run all of the reports in a folder by selecting the folder.
2 Select the Device Reports folder by clicking the box in front of it.
