## Purpose

The Event Log displays a table of all status changes. These include, for example, going online or offline of cluster nodes, or errors due to invalid settings. Also the Event Log holds a copy of all alerts, no matter to which Event Destination they were sent (see [Configuring Alerts](docId:6QT-_Y-_kUtHhY8kyJEvf)). For a detailed list of all log file entries possible, please refer to [Entries in the Event Log](docId\:XKqzWiqWUX2njqrOV6O2w).

## Opening
