Local events recorded earlier on Indeed Certificate Manager servers will not be available in the Events section when switching to a unified event log for all servers. Such events will remain in the Windows IndeedCM/Operational log on each Indeed CM server.
After you configure all Indeed CM servers to work with a unified event log, all events from all Indeed CM servers will be recorded in it.

Follow these steps to configure Indeed CM Server to work with unified event log:

  1. Sign in to the Indeed CM server as a local administrator.
  2. Run the Setup Wizard Indeed CM (Start – All Programs – Indeed Identity).
  3. Go to the Event Log section, click Enable unified event log and specify (Figure 15):
    • Unified event log URL – URL of the remote log service
    • Service account for unified event log – username for connecting to the eventlogproxy service (from the <authorization> section of the Web.config file of the eventlogproxy application)

4. Go to the Confirmation section and click Apply.
5. Configure to work with a unified event log by repeating steps 2-4 on each Indeed CM server.
6. Go to the Indeed CM management console in a browser and search in the Events section.
Expected Result: no errors.

A search in the Events may not produce results if the log on the remote server does not contain any events. Perform on the Indeed CM server configured to work with a unified event log any action the result of which is written to the Events (disabling the smart card, adding or changing comments, etc.) and repeat the search for events.
