Server Security alert forwarding to event viewer

[svennebanan]

I am trying to configure alert forwarding from Policy manager. I want to forward alerts (severity error, fatal error, security alerts) to event viewer (i suppose they mean Windows event log?) but in which log are they supposed to show up? I cannot find any log entries in any windows event log that i have been looking in.

Another question. From the policy manager manual  this can be read about alert forwarding: 

"The target can be Policy Manager Console, the local user interface, an alert agent (such as the Event viewer, a log file, or SMTP), or a management extension."

If you want to forward to a log file, how do you do that?

Hello svennebanan,

In Windows Application log on the client machine.

Use "Local user interface" column to configure the alerts which will be shown in a log file. The log file is located here: Program Files (x86)\F-Secure\Common\logfile.log
