Viewing Log application objects and schemas

Log Application objects store the information the Log server requires to identify Log Applications. Log Application objects also store the associated application log schema.

NOTE The log schema catalogs the events that can be logged by a given logging application. The log schema also defines static event data such as the event ID, description, and readable log text. You can customize a logging application event summaries in the corresponding Log Application object. For more information, see About the Log schema.
