Within each supported service or protocol, Messaging Server further categorizes logged events by the facility, or functional area, in which they occur. Every logged event contains the name of the facility that generated it. These categories aid in filtering events during searches. Table 21–5 lists the categories that Messaging Server recognizes for logging purposes.
