Event - category of system events,
Log - [Yes/No] - enable / disable logging particular event into the log database,
History depth [days] - [0-365] - writing period of event into the log database (in days),
Use device - [Yes/No] - enable / disable event logging to output device,
Device - name of output device. Output device is the type of device, where logged data will be written. There are these types of output devices:
- PRN, LPT1, LPT2 - output to specified printer,
- FileName.Ext - saving to a text file of given name.
