Log files and event sources


If you make use of the security-audit feature, HPOM for Windows writes changes to the configuration of the HPOM for Windows management server to a custom application log named, OvConfigChangeEvents.Evt, which is stored in the following location: %OvDataDir%\log on the HPOM for Windows management server.

Three HPOM for Windows components are currently able to make use of the Security Audit feature, namely;

In order for the Windows event service to be able to distinguish between the custom or the standard application log, the names used to identify event sources in the custom log used by the security-audit feature must be different to the names used to identify sources in the standard application log. For example, the name OvPolicyMgmt is used to identify the source of events associated with the PMAD sever in the security-audit log: the name HPOV-PMAD is used when PMAD writes entries to the standard application log.

Note NOTE:
The standard application log contains errors, warnings, and other useful information about Windows applications or services, for example; when they are shut down. The security-audit log contains entries relating strictly to events, which have passed or failed the HPOM or Windows audit.
