By default, Syslog events are included in the summary; however, because Syslog events occur
at a much higher frequency than other events and therefore could skew the bars for the other
events, you can exclude Syslog events. If they are excluded, they will not be displayed in the
legend. Users’ selections are persisted (per user per server).
Customizing the Events widget
You can customize the Events widget to include Syslog information (default) on the Event Summary
pane by selecting the Show Syslog check box.
To exclude Syslog information, clear the Show Syslog check box.
Accessing additional data from the Events widget
Double-click a bar in the graph to navigate to the Events page with only the selected event type
(Emergency, Alert, and so on) displaying. For example, double-click the Error event bar. The Events
page displays with only Error events in the table. Fore more information about the Events page,
refer to
