System Event Log
The system event log records events that have been detected on your system. If you experience problems
with your system, you should check the system event log (see Table 2-2) for information to assist in
troubleshooting. Events are recorded in two columns, giving an event type and event data to provide
more specific component information. Table 2-6 presents the possible log entries, causes, and possible
corrective actions.
