The time stamp for each event in the StorView log is the exact time the event
was received by StorView and can be slightly different from the actual time the
event occurred in the controller log. After synchronization, events that occurred
while the StorView server was down are marked with an additional string in the
event description which displays the actual time stamp that event occurred. The
string is in the form of an asterisk followed by the time and date in parentheses.
At the bottom of the
Event Log window, the message * Indicates event occurred
while Server module was down . This indicates that those events with this extra
time stamp in the description are the results of a synchronization and displays
the exact time the event actually occurred.
StorView’s event log has a maximum size limited only by the available disk
space, so the log events in StorView requires regular maintenance to make sure
that the list is manageable and does not fill to disk capacity. You can export the
log files to a comma delimited file for later use prior to clearing them.
