To simplify monitoring hundreds or thousands of generated events each day, the administrator
should use the filtering mechanism provided in the Event Viewer. Although warnings
and errors should take priority, the informational events should be reviewed to track
what was happening before the problem occurred. After the administrator reviews the
informational events, she can filter out the informational events and view only the warnings
and errors.
To filter events, do the following:
1. Start the Event Viewer by clicking Start, All Programs, Administrative Tools, Event
Viewer.
2. Select the log that is to be filtered.
3. Right-click the log and select View, Filter.
4. In the log properties window, shown in Figure 17.4, select the types of events to filter.
