A system and method for monitoring events of a plurality of members configured
as an entity. Configurable event logging settings can be defined at a first member
and dynamically propagated to each member of the entity to establish event logging
configuration settings at each of the plurality of members. In one aspect of the
invention, a system and method log different event types in accordance with configuration
settings into a common event type data format at a plurality of members. The different
event types can then be coalesced for the entire entity and returned to a requestor
residing at a single location. Additionally, a unique identifier can be assigned
to assist in monitoring of events. Also, to assist in monitoring, data that is
common to all event types can be stored in a separate table from data specific
to an event type.
