DHCP Events Log

An Events log is a history of events logged by the server. The category of events to be logged can be configured in the Options tab of the DHCP server property pages. The Events log file can be used to diagnose problems.

To view the events log of a DHCP server:

  1. Select the DHCP server icon from the bottom panel of the utility and click the View Events/Alerts button in the toolbar.

  2. In the Events period dialog box, change the start and end dates as you want.

  3. Click OK to view the events and alerts for the selected server.

Each event contains the following information:

Display Options enables you to view only the events of a particular severity, state, or time period.

To save the events log to a file, click Save As in the Events Log dialog box, select or enter a filename, then click Save. Events log files grow rapidly and must be maintained or purged regularly to control file size.
