The information provided in this screen is static once it is displayed; for updated

automatically updates the list.
The fields in the Events Watch display include:
Index This is a number that uniquely identifies an entry in the
event table; an index number is assigned when an event
is created. These numbers are extremely important, as
they are the means by which an event is associated with
an alarm or a packet capture filter. As with alarms, these
index numbers are user-defined and can be assigned
according to any indexing scheme that works for you.
Index numbers are permanently assigned to their
associated events; however, numbers made available by
the deletion of existing events can be assigned to new
events, as needed. Note that indices 2000 to 4999 are
reserved and unavailable.
LastTime Indicates the last time this event was triggered. Note that
this information is static once it is displayed, and the
LastTime field will not be updated unless you close, then
open, the Advanced Alarms/Events window, or click on
the Refresh button.
Type Indicates the type of response that will be generated if
the event is triggered: log, trap, or log & trap. A type of
“none” indicates that occurrences of the event will not be
logged and no trap will be sent; however, note that this
field does not indicate whether or not there are any
actions associated with the selected event.
Description This is a user-defined text description used to identify
the event and/or the alarm or packet capture that
triggers it.
The Event Log button at the bottom of the screen provides access to the log which
lists the occurrences of an event.
