The Events widget only includes events from products that are in your AOR. Double-click a bar
in the graph to navigate to the Events page with only the selected event type (Emergency, Alert,
and so on) displaying. For example, double-click the Error event bar. The Events page displays
with only Error events in the table. Fore more information about the Events page, refer to
“Events” on page 231.
The x-axis represents the number of occurrences of a particular event severity during the
selected time period. If you pause on a bar, a tooltip shows the number of events with that
severity level during the selected time period. Also, for each severity, the cumulative number of
traps, application events, and security events is reported next to the horizontal bar. If Syslog
messages are included, then they are included in the count. To conserve space, the number is
shown as is or truncated to the nearest 1,000("K") or 1,000,000("M").
By default, Syslog events are included in the summary; however, because Syslog events occur
at a much higher frequency than other events and therefore could skew the bars for the other
events, you can exclude Syslog events. If they are excluded, they will not be displayed in the
legend. Users’ selections are persisted (per user per server).
Customizing the Events widget
You can customize the Events widget to include Syslog information (default) on the Event Summary
pane by selecting the Show Syslog check box.
To exclude Syslog information, clear the Show Syslog check box.
