Troubleshooting: Reviewing error/event logs
Useful event data
The event log tracks alarm events and other changes to the system that 
can be useful in determining the state of the monitor if an error occurs. 
For each event, the event log records the event number, the date, the 
time, the event ID, the “bucket,” and an event description. Additionally, 
an event description code is logged.
NOTE
“Bucket” data is information regarding the state of the event. For 
example, if the monitor’s automatic alarm graphing is turned on or 
off, the event bucket will contain the number 0 or 1, which 
correspond to off and on.
The table below shows some common events, their event codes, the 
corresponding bucket data (if applicable) and other event data (if 
applicable). This data can be useful in interpreting the event log.
