Custom Views
Event Viewer allows the creation of Custom Views based on event level, time, log type, source type, event ID, task category, keywords, users, or computers. Event Viewer catches thousands of different events. Using Custom Views, we can filter events and access the information we need. All these custom-made views will be listed under the Custom Views section. It also has predefined custom views.
These predefined custom views are based on the server roles. When AD DS roles are added, it also creates a custom view in the event log to group all the AD DS-related events, as shown in the following screenshot:

The data that appears in these custom views will also be available on other logs such as Windows Logs.
