Event List

Use this window to monitor and manage alerts. Information about alerts is displayed in the event list according to filters and views. Filters enable you to display a subset of alerts based on specific criteria. Views enable you to choose which alert fields to display.

The event list contains the following areas:
Tip: The title bar of the event list displays the names of the filter and view that are currently in use for this event list. The title bar also indicates whether you are using a dual server desktop (DSD).

Alerts area

The alerts area is made up of rows and columns in a table:
  • Each row corresponds to an alert that matches the filter that is currently selected.
  • The columns are the alert fields. The selection of columns is controlled by the view that is currently selected.

Distribution summary bar

The distribution summary bar depicts the number of alerts that match each severity color. This is the same information as shown on the distribution indicator on the monitor box in the Event List monitor box window.

You can click one of the severity level colors to display only those alerts that match the selected severity.

Status bar

The status bar displays:
  • Messages about the event list, such as how many items match the current filter condition or were processed by an operation
  • The current date and time
  • The current user name that is used to log into the session
  • The name of the ObjectServer to which the event list is connected, and whether this is the primary (PRI) or backup (BAK) ObjectServer
