À Compaq Analyze offers an additional logging service, called the Unanalyzed Event Logger, that is not enabled by default.

The Unanalyzed Event Logger service writes raw, unanalyzed events to a separate binary event log. This stores events that cannot be processed by Compaq Analyze so they are available for service personnel. For example, Turbolaser events are not analyzed by Compaq Analyze, however, they can be translated. If you need to see translated output for events that are not sent to analysis, enabling the unanalyzed event logger will preserve them in a separate log file.

Ø In order to limit the size of the created files, the service rotates log files. Each Unanalyzed Event Logger file has a size limit. When the size limit is reached, the old file is saved and closed and the additional events are written to a new file. The number of files is also limited, and when the limit is reached, the oldest log file is deleted. The log files use the following naming convention:

Bunanalyzed_events_log.xxx

(ÕWhere xxx refers to the version number (000, 001, 002, and so on). Files are numbered sequentially, and when 999 is reached the next file is assigned a version of 000.
