Viewing the event log

The event log displays events that occur on managed devices and general events. This information is available on the Information panel → Event log tab of Kaspersky Next Management Console.

The event log contains columns with the following details:

• Severity.

  Event severity, in descending order:

  • (Critical event)

    A critical event indicates a problem that may lead to data loss, an operational malfunction, or a critical error.

  • (Functional failure)

    A functional failure indicates a serious problem, error, or malfunction that occurred during the operation of the application.

  • (Warning)

    A warning is not necessarily serious, but nevertheless indicates a potential future problem.

  • (Informational event)

    An informational event notifies about the successful completion of an operation or a procedure, or of the proper functioning of the application.

• Event category and description.

  Category and description of the occurred event. For example, after you add a user account to the list of users, the log displays an event with the category "User has been added" and the description "A user with alias <user alias> and email address <email address> has been added".

• Date and time.

  Date and time when the event was registered in the event database. The value displays the time of the device operating system on which Management Console opens.
