Types of Events
Event Viewer displays one of four types of events:
Indicates a significant problem, such as loss of data or
functionality.
May indicate a possible future problem.
Describes the successful operation of an application, driver, or
service.
Indicates whether an attempt to access an audited resource was a
success or a failure.
Event Viewer then records the occurrences of these types of
events in event logs. Different types of event logs are created
depending on the additional components installed on the system.
Some common event logs are the application log, the system log,
and the security log.
Application Log
The application log contains events logged by applications. For
example, a database application might record a file error in the
application log. The application log records Error, Warning, and
Information events.
System Log
The system log contains events logged by Windows 2003 system
components. For example, the system log records the failure of a
system component to load during startup. The system log records
Error, Warning, and information events.
Security Log
The security log records Auditing events, including valid and
invalid logon attempts, as well as events related to resource
use, such as creating, opening, or deleting files.
