A system for logging events of network devices includes an event management module (110), an event forwarding module (120), a plurality of service modules (130), an event storing module (150), and a user interface (160). The event management module includes an event buffer (111). The service modules generate various events and classify them. Based on a callback function, the event forwarding module collects classified events and sends them to the event management module. The event management module stores events in the event storing module, and provides the events to the user interface for display according to a predefined filtering mechanism. A method for logging events of network devices is also disclosed.
