Hyper-V Event Log

Hyper-V Event Log records virtual machine events received from configured monitors. Log file entries reflect event logs maintained on the given hypervisor host.

Each log message record contains the following data columns:

• Date. Date and time group for the event message.
• Host. Identifier (hostname or IP address) for the hypervisor.
• Event Type. Category for the event (Hyper-V-Config, for example)
• Log Name. Source log on the Hyper-V host.
• Message. Log message string.

Note: Hyper-V Event Log only returns log messages for hosts that have the appropriate WhatsVirtual listeners and event collection enabled. For more details, see Enable WhatsVirtual Event Listeners.
