Understand the Microsoft Windows Event Logging Facility
Connect:Direct® for Microsoft Windows uses the Microsoft Windows Event Logging facility to log informational, warning, and error messages that the server generates during execution. A subset of the Connect:Direct statistics records are also sent to the event log. The event.log initialization parameter determines which of these records to log.
Merging this critical error information with the event log enables
the system administrator to have a single point of focus for error
information from all Microsoft Windows subsystems. The Event Logging
facility also allows for easy correlation of the various error messages
that both Connect:Direct and
Microsoft Windows generate.
CAUTION:
Connect:Direct can generate
numerous event records. For control purposes, define a large event
log, use the event.log initialization parameter to reduce the number
of events Connect:Direct generates,
or define the event log to be wraparound.
The event log receives the following information from Connect:Direct for Microsoft
Windows:
