INFO: How LogEvent() Messages Are Handled (179473)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0
This article was previously published under Q179473 SUMMARY
Messages logged using the LogEvent() resource API callback can be written
in two places. First, events of level LOG_ERROR and LOG_SEVERE are sent to
either the debugger or the console window depending on whether or not the
cluster server is running as a service. Second, events of all levels are
sent to the cluster log, if it is enabled.
MORE INFORMATION
When a resource monitor calls the Startup() routine of a resource DLL, it
passes the address of the LogEvent() callback function. Resource DLLs can
use the callback to send messages of varying importance to the resource
monitor.
If the cluster log is enabled, all events are recorded in the log. This
happens regardless of the log level specified in the LogEvent() call.
"Information" and "warning" level messages are only recorded in the log.
Messages at the "error" or "severe" level can be reported in one of two
places. If the cluster server runs as a service, the message is logged to
the debugger, if it is present. If the server runs as a console
application, the message is displayed in the console window.
You cannot configure the level of message that is sent to the debugger or
console window in this release of Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).
