Event Console Log

The Event Console Log provides both a real‑time and a historical online interface to all Event Management message activity. Created daily, the log is a file containing all messages written to the Event Console Log on a particular day. You can view the log for the previous day or the log for the next day (relative to the date of the log you are currently viewing), or select a log created on a specific date.

Only Event Management can read these files. You can set the directory where these files are stored with the Console Files Directory (CAI_CONLOG) environment variable.

Note: For more information about the CAI_CONLOG environment variable, see the Reference Guide.

You should consider a policy for archiving outdated Event Console Log files to tape for off‑site storage.
