Important:
It can take several minutes for an event to be logged and become visible in the Event Log Viewer.When you open the Event Log window, the most recent critical and informational events appear, starting with the most recent event. The default number of critical events shown is 100. You can configure values for the number of events shown, as well as values for View only critical events and View details. Your configuration settings are retained in the next session, even if the Subsystem Management Window or the Enterprise Management Window has been shut down.
Note:
When View only critical events is selected, the box is labeled Retrieve most recent critical events.
