5.9 Managing Event Logs

An event is an important system or application occurrence. The Windows operating system records information about events in event log files. There may be several event logs stored on each computer. Use the native Windows Event Viewer to view event logs. DRA manages the event logs only on the computers in the managed domains.

DRA records user-initiated operations in the log archive, a secure repository. You have the option to have DRA also record user-initiated operations in the Windows Event Log in addition to recording the information in the DRA log archive. For more information, see How DRA Uses Log Archives.
