Event Browser
The Event Browser displays a list of events generated by the switches in the fabric
and the QuickTools web applet. Events that are generated by the QuickTools web
applet are not saved on the switch, but can be saved to a file during the
QuickTools session.
Entries on the Event Browser (
) are formatted by severity, time stamp,
source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed on the
Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is
1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events
are discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the switch,
use the switch time stamp, while event entries generated by the web applet have
a workstation time stamp. You can filter, sort, and export the contents of the Event
Browser to a file. The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and
QuickTools is running.
If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog box, the next time
QuickTools is started all events from the switch log will be displayed. If the Event
Browser is disabled when QuickTools is started and later enabled, only those
events from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be
displayed.
