Event codes are logged to the event log and cover a wide range of VTL events. Event code items do not require any action on your part, although they might indicate trends that you want to follow up on. Action Codes, described in Chapter  6, Responding to Action Codes, do require action by you. In some cases, the same event produces both an event code and an action code.
