ServerConductor/Blade Server Manager Description and Reference

### 6.6.2 Recording alerts in the event log

The alerts that occur at a Windows server can be recorded as application log information. The recorded application log can also be used by other applications. The application log contains information about the notification alerts that have been set within the constraints set in 6.8.1(2) Filtering in units of alerts.

Note
  If you have recorded alerts as application log information, you can use a program such as Event Viewer to view them. ServerConductor cannot display application logs. Alerts can be recorded as application log information only for Windows servers.
