Accessing the Event Log With the

Dell™ PowerApp™ Event Log

Viewer

The PowerApp Event Log Viewer is a tool designed to view the last few errors in the

Event Log. When you boot your computer with the

PowerApp Event Log Viewer

dis-

kette, the system copies the contents of the Event Log into a text file named

log.txt

on the diskette. The diskette can then be inserted into another system to view the

text file, or to e-mail the text file to technical support for troubleshooting (if needed). If

there are no entries in the text file, the event log is empty.

A file named

log.ekd

may also be copied to the diskette during boot. This file can be

ignored.

To access the Event Log Viewer, perform the following steps:

1.

Power down your PowerApp appliance.

2.

Insert the

PowerApp Event Log Viewer

diskette into the diskette drive.

NOTE: The PowerApp Event Log Viewer

diskette is included with your PowerApp

system, or the tool can be downloaded at

.

NOTICE: Make sure that the diskette is not write protected before

inserting it into the diskette drive.
