6.1 Events Overview
In the Event Viewer view you can display events recorded in the log files by M-Switch
and other Isode applications like M-Vault, M-Box, etc.
The Event Viewer is capable of showing either log files that can be locally accessed or
showing log files that are accessed remotely by using the SOM protocol to communicate
with a SOM Server such as a Queue Manager.
Events are colour coded, varying depending on the type of event (e.g. error or notice) and
the source of the event (e.g. M-Switch, M-Vault, M-Store, etc).
Critical, Fatal and Error events can present further information about what has occurred
including possible course of action that may be required.
6.2 Selecting the event source
Event Viewer can read logs from two different sources:
• Local Files: These are log files created by M-Switch, and other applications, that are
accessible through the file system by the Event Viewer. If this source is an option, it
should be preferred, as it is more efficient.
