Recording System Status Information
Making a permanent record of system status information is important, especially when an error
occurs. Windows uses the term
event
to indicate a change. Events aren??™t necessarily errors. In fact,
some events are informational, while others are simply warnings. Windows also provides a number
of other events, such as security events where it performs an audit of the security on a system.
Generally, though, you??™ll only consider three kinds of events: informational, warning, and errors.
The following sections describe the utilities for working with system events.
