6 Event Log
Introduction
The Event Log screen on the Events tab tracks errors and configuration changes, such as changing how
long performance data is retained in the database, when data collection was started or stopped, or
the details of an alarm configuration.
The Event Log screen contains Time, Type, Severity, and Description fields. These fields that display
the type of changes that are made and the time when the changes occurred. The data that initially
appears in the screen, by default, is data that has been generated and retained by the system in the
last 24 hours. Historic data (data older than 24 hours) can be displayed by using the pop-up calendar.
Click Set Times to open the calendar.
In the calendar, select the time range. The database retrieves records within the specified range only.
Use the Event Log screen to filter the data by type or severity.
