Checking the GeoCue Event Log

• GeoCueDispatchEventLog – Records events for tasks dispatched to this particular machine and also for the dispatch service and GCRemote.
• GeoCueEventLog – Records events associated with the GeoCue processes on the machine.

Both of these logs can be accessed from the same utility within Windows, called the Event Viewer. The logs exist on both client machines, and also on the GeoCue Server machine. The event and where the processing or error may have occurred will dictate whether the event is logged on the client or server. It is always helpful to look in both locations.
