WhatsVirtual Event Log
The WhatsVirtual Events log provides a record of the events generated by virtual devices managed by a vCenter server.
Note: To gather events for this report, you must have enabled WhatsVirtual event collection on the General tab of the WhatsUp Gold Program Options dialog.
Tip: The types of events gathered for this report can be configured on the Virtualization tab of the Device Properties dialog for the vCenter server.
Log Body
The following information is displayed in the log:
- Date. Displays the date and time that the event occurred.
- Target. Displays the target of the event. The target can be a virtual machine, a virtual host, a cluster, a datacenter, or a vCenter server.

Note: Many events are the result of automatic actions within the VMware system. The user field will only display a VMware user when the event is the result of user action.
- Message. The message sent from the vCenter server to WhatsVirtual.
Note: If the log data exceeds the maximum number of records set for full reports, use the Paging Options to view more records for the report. The maximum number of records any full report displays is specified in the Preferences dialog.
