FireDaemon Zero can optionally add log entries to the Windows Application Event Log that record significant events such as when a user interactively switches to or from Session 0.


By examining these event log entries, administrators can identify who switched to Session 0, reverted from Session 0, or was returned to their logged-in session.


Preference settings are available to enable or disable this event logging behaviour.


Configuration


The FireDaemon Zero Global Preferences section is used to configure system security and logging policies:

  3. Use the checkboxes to enable or disable the corresponding logging action, then click OK.

    The following table describes the entries that FireDaemon Zero will record in the Application Event Log in each circumstance. In all cases, the Source of the event is set to FireDaemon Zero.
