The Event Log top display contains a table. Each row in the table provides the following columns of information about an
event:
• # — An incremental count of the number of entries in the table.
• ID — The unique identifier for the message that comprises this event log entry.

• Type — Indicates the type of entry: Alert, Assert, Error, Info, Status, Trace, or Warning.

beginning and end of all the activities prompted by a primary request message from outside Ensemble. The primary
request message has an ID value that is identical to the Session. Several additional messages may be instantiated within
Ensemble during the session, in order to fulfill the primary request. All of these messages share the same Session, but
each has a different ID value.
The Session number is a link; click on it to view a visual trace of the session.
• Source — The configuration item (service, process, or operation) that sent the message.
• Method — The host class method that was in progress when the event was logged.
