Agent Event Messages

Events generated by the agent are logged to the Application and Services Logs -> Advisor Agent. You can use the information in the following table to diagnose what issues generated the events.

Sometimes, if your agent reports that it cannot upload data, it is because the gateway has lost connectivity to System Center Advisor. Check the gateway error messages and verify connectivity. See Gateway Event Messages for additional information.
