Enterprise Vault logs events to three Windows event logs. You can use the Windows Event Viewer to view these logs. Additionally, you may have your own or various third-party tools that you can use to monitor the Enterprise Vault log entries.
The logs that Enterprise Vault uses are as follows:
Windows Application Event Log - This is used for events that are deemed to be critical. Service start-up and shutdown events are logged here and also events arising from the integrated monitoring that is on Site Properties. These include, for example, warnings if databases have not been backed up recently or if there is a backlog of items in journal mailboxes with a status of archive pending.
When Enterprise Vault logs an event from the integrated monitoring it also shows the event in the Status pane of the Administration Console. The Status pane provides the quickest way for you to check the health of the Enterprise Vault system.
Enterprise Vault Log - This is used for all events that are not deemed to be critical. For example, events relating to the progress of mailbox or public folder archiving. Additionally, events that are placed in the Windows Application Event Log are also placed in the Enterprise Vault Log, thus ensuring that the Enterprise Vault Log contains a complete record of all events.
Enterprise Vault Convertors Log - This contains events arising from document conversions.
For each of the Enterprise Vault services, you can select the level of diagnostics that is reported. The diagnostic reports are logged in the Enterprise Vault Log.
