IntroductionPurpose of 
Event Log
By using an event log, you can pinpoint any system problems, assess the severity 
of the problem, and view the history to the problems. At that point you can close 
out the event causing the problem, or you can investigate and take care of the 
problem using the information provided by the event log. 
Definition of 
Event Log
The event log displays a table listing all of the events for either all managed nodes 
in the DEFINITY system, or events specific to selected parts of a managed node. 
An event is an occurrence, condition, or problem that the system detects and 
records in the event log. Conditions that can cause an event to appear in the 
event log include:
• Data collection failure
• Report not generating
• Managed node not meeting an established threshold
• Trunk group not meeting a threshold service
Types of Event 
Logs
Performance Management provides several types of event logs. Each event log 
contains the same fields, but differ on what type of events they contain. The 
following table lists the different event logs and what they contain.

Using the Event LogDescription
The event log displays all of the events for the either all managed nodes, or 
events specific to selected parts of a managed node. An event is an occurrence or 
condition that the system detects and is recorded in the event log. Conditions that 
can cause an event to appear in the event log include:
• Data collection failure
• Report generation failure
• Managed node not meeting the established threshold
• Trunk group not meeting threshold service
Each managed node has its own event log, but the master event log contains all 
events for all managed nodes.
This procedure describes how to view and interpret the Master Event Log.
