Code Reference

Windows reports most failures as a number. SparkLogs decodes that number where the event is collected, so an event carries the name and the meaning beside the code and a question never has to hard-code a hexadecimal value.

These are the tables the SparkLogs Agent carries, published in full. A code that is not in one of them keeps its raw value on the event: a meaning is never invented for it.

CodesCountWhat they are
Kerberos Error Codes17The result codes a Kerberos key distribution center returns when a ticket request fails.
NPS Reason Codes10The reason codes Network Policy Server records when it turns a RADIUS request down.
VSS Result Codes81The success and failure codes the Volume Shadow Copy Service and its writers return during a snapshot.
Windows System Error Codes3,214The numbered errors Windows returns from system calls, service starts, installer runs and driver operations, each with the constant name Windows publishes for it.
Windows Installer Error Codes359The numbered messages the Windows Installer writes while a package installs, repairs, patches or removes.
Windows Logon Types12The logon type Windows records on every sign-in event, which says how the session was established: at the keyboard, over the network, as a service, over remote desktop.
Windows Status Codes148The status words Windows reports as one hexadecimal value, decoded in a single table because they share one numeric space.
Windows Update Error Codes29The hexadecimal result codes the Windows Update client returns when a scan, download or install does not finish.
