The network system has a central broker, which monitors the managed environment and receives events in the managed environment, and an event store, which has non-textual files organized into sets with each set containing corresponding event log and event index files. Events are logged as received by the central broker into the non-textual files organized into the sets. A complete representation of one or more events is stored in a language-independent form in an event log file of the event store so that the event information may be read and formatted for presentation in a local language. An event index file of the event log contains the location of the one or more events. The flow from multiple streams of related events may also be tracked. | |
