About Filtering Events

The management server provides several types of event filters to specify which events you want Event

Manager to display.
You can use all the event filters at once or you can use just one of them. You can filter events by:

Severity level

Element type

Summary text or element name

For example, assume you are having problems with a host named WickedWitch, and you want to

see only events from WickedWitch and you only want to see events with a severity level of Critical

and Major.
