9.7.3  Enabling Text Entry in Other Logs Pane

When enabled, the text entry field in the Add Logs screen allows users to add log files by entering the path and filename for an event log located anywhere in the file system (Figure 9–3. For more information, see Section 6.4.4 and Figure 6–16).

When entering a file name into the text entry field (Figure 9–4), the log file must have a .sys, .evt, .zpd, or .errlog extension. If you wish to add a file with a different extension, you will need to rename the file so it uses an acceptable file extension.

The text field can only be enabled for users you specify in the CA.WUI.OLText key. It cannot be enabled for all users unless you list each user individually.

Note


The list of usernames assigned to the CA.WUI.OLText key corresponds to the user profile entered by the user at the SEA Logon screen (see Section 6.2). SEA profiles and usernames are not related to the ID a user enters to log on to a system, and they are not authenticated by SEA during the log on process. It is therefore the responsibility of those with knowledge of text entry enabled user profiles to protect them from unauthorized use (i.e., not allowing open access to event logs anywhere on the system).
