The Event Logging policy group lists all events that a host or domain manager can raise by event ID. For each event, a value of True means that when the described event occurs the corresponding event is raised; a value of False means the event is not raised. You can modify policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.
The Event Logging policy group contains the following policy group folders:
  • Connection Events

The host-related settings specified here default to the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog. For more information about this dialog, see the
