Type
Windows NT™ defines five types of event logging. Each event must be of a single type,
because types cannot be combined.
Event type
| Description
|
Information
| Information events are used to note infrequent but significant successful
operations. For example, when Microsoft SQL Server successfully loads, it may be
appropriate to log a "SQL Server has started" information event. Note that while
this is appropriate for major server services, it is generally inappropriate
for a desktop application (Microsoft Excel, for example) to log an event each
time it is started. Information events should not be used as a trace facility.
|
Warning
| Warning events are used to indicate problems that are not significant, but
that may foretell of future errors or other problems. Resource consumption is a
good candidate for a Warning event. For example, a warning could be logged if
disk space is low. Errors that are recovered without loss of function or data can
be classified as warnings.
|
Error
| Error events are used to indicate significant problems that have occurred and
that the user should know about. Errors usually indicate a loss of
functionality or data. For example, if a service cannot be loaded as the system boots, an
Error event can be logged.
|
Success Audit
| Success Audit events are security events that occur when an audited access
attempt is successful. For example, a successful logon attempt is a Success Audit
event.
|
Failure Audit
| Failure Audit events are security events that occur when an audited access
attempt fails. For example, a failed attempt to open a file is a Failure Audit
event.
