Event ID: 8009 Monitoring LC CreateFailed (288795)

SUMMARY

Could not create logging consumer. No events will be logged on this computer. Status is %Status%: %StatusMessage%.

Meaning: Could not create the Application Center log consumer.

Effect: Event logging to the Application Center log will not be available on this computer. A subset of events will still be written to the Windows Event Log. This failure does not affect event logging on other cluster members, but the events for this computer will not be available to the cluster controller until this situation is fixed.

Possible Causes and Solutions

Application Center Log Consumer was deleted: The Log Consumer might be missing. You can check this by using the Component Services snap-in. The Application Center Log Consumer application should appear in the list in the COM+ Applications node.

NOTE: The Component Services property sheet in the Application Center snap-in cannot be used for this purpose.

Application Center Log Consumer settings: The logging consumer settings for Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or the Application Center Log might be missing or wrong. To check this:

1. Stop the Application Center Log Consumer by using the Component Services snap-in.
   
   NOTE: While the Log Consumer is shut-off, Application Center will not receive any events.
2. Review the Log Consumer WMI settings by clicking Properties. The settings for each property sheet should be:

   Security - Enforce access checks for this application = yes
   Security Level = Perform access checks only at the process level
   Authentication Level = Connect
   Impersonation level = Impersonate identity
   Account = This user
   User = ACL_<computer name>
   Activation type = Server application Advanced
   Server Process Shutdown = 3 Minutes until idle shutdown
   Permission = Disable deletion
   

3. Shut down and then restart the Application Center Log Consumer.

Database not running: The SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine might not be running. To verify this: click Start, point to Programs, point to MSDE, and then click Service Manager. There might also be an indicator in the taskbar tray.

Other solutions (listed in order of preference):

1. Restart the computer.
