Asked in Microsoft Windows
You are using Event Viewer in Windows Server 2008 to view success and failure events that have been saved in the security log Which are valid fields located within the properties of an event?
Level
Keywords
Answer Explanation: Event Viewer includes many log files.
Each log contains recorded events, and these recorded events
include details of an event that has happened on the system. Each
event that is logged includes properties such as the Level,
Keywords, Source, User, Computer, Event ID, and Task Category.
These details allow you to further your troubleshooting by enabling
you to look deeper into the problem. The Level field contains
information on the event type, which can be Information, Error,
Warning, etc. The Keywords field describes the severity of the
event such as Audit Success or Audit Failure. The Source field
contains the programs or component that created the event. The User
and Computer fields are helpful, as they will tell you the user or
process that is associated with the error and the computer that the
event occurred on. The Level and Keywords fields provide
information on the event type.

How many kinds of log files?
Log files can exist in many forms: - you can log to a .txt or
.log file, and when you do you can append to the end of it (a
historical file) or overwrite what is already there (a record of
the most recent program execution) - you can log to the Windows
Event Log (viewable via the Control Panel) - you can log to custom
binary files that aren't easily understandable when you examine
them with an editor like Notepad Often, each application has its
own log file. Ex: hijackThis generates a log file, Norton generates
a log file, and the app we are writing at work generates a log
file.
