Examining information about scheduled events
About examining an event's information
ContentReporter gives you the ability to examine detailed information about each scheduled log file collection and processing event while it occurs and after it completes.
The Scheduled Events page
The Scheduled Events page provides feedback about each collection event as it occurs. You can monitor a scheduled event's current state (such as "Running," "Idle," or "Completed") and its status or condition ("Successful" or "Failed") on the Scheduled Events page.
