Events

The Events panel displays two types of events: messages and alerts, and indicates the cause of any log entry. You can use this panel to filter messages that are related to events that occurred on the system.

Some alerts have a four-digit error code and a fix procedure that helps you fix the problem. Other alerts also require action but do not have a fix procedure. Messages are fixed when you acknowledge reading them and mark them as fixed. Each event has a time stamp that indicates when the action occurred or the command was submitted on the system. When logs are displayed in the command-line interface, the time stamps for the logs in CLI are the system time. However, when logs are displayed in the management GUI, the time stamps are translated to the local time where the web browser is running.

The information on the Events panel can be filtered three ways:
Recommended action (default)
Shows only the alerts that require attention and have an associated fix procedure. Alerts are listed in priority order and should be fixed sequentially by using the available fix procedures. For each problem that is selected, you can:
  • Run a fix procedure.
  • View the properties.
Unfixed messages and alerts
Displays only the alerts and messages that are not fixed. For each entry that is selected, you can:
  • Run a fix procedure on any alert with an error code.
  • Mark an event as fixed.
  • Filter the entries to show them by specific minutes, hours, or dates.
  • Reset the date filter.
  • View the properties.
Show all
Displays all event types whether they are fixed or unfixed. For each entry that is selected, you can:
  • Run a fix procedure on any alert with an error code.
  • Mark an event as fixed.
  • Filter the entries to show them by specific minutes, hours, or dates.
  • Reset the date filter.
  • View the properties.

Some events require a certain number of occurrences in 25 hours before they are displayed as unfixed. If they do not reach this threshold in 25 hours, they are flagged as expired. Monitoring events are below the coalesce threshold and are usually transient.

You can also sort events by time or error code. When you sort by error code, the most serious events, those with the lowest numbers, are displayed first. You can select any event that is listed and select Actions > Properties to view details about the event.
