Monitoring Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Events in the Windows Event Log

Administrative and operational type events (errors, warnings, and information messages) that occur on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instances are recorded and stored in the Windows Application event log of the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. You can view the events by using Event Viewer.

Note

You can also monitor these events by using event tracing. For more information, see Monitoring Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Event Traces.

For more information about how to use Event Viewer, see Event Viewer.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Events

Events have the source MicrosoftDynamicsNAVServer$[ServerInstance]. Each event has a unique ID and is assigned to a task category. The source, IDs, and task categories enable you to filter the events that display in Event Viewer. For a description of the task categories, see Task Categories.

The following table lists the events that are generated by the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

Task Categories

Task categories logically classify events according to the operations that they perform. In Event Viewer, you can sort, include, or exclude events in the Windows Application log based on the task categories. A task category is defined by a decimal number. The following table lists the task categories that are associated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server events.

Task category	Description
8	Service connects to the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.
11	Service disconnects from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance.
