Checking System Status from the Main Window
maxView Storage Manager includes an Event Log and Task Log for at-a-glance status and activity
information for all managed systems. The Event Log provides status information and messages about
activity (or events) occurring in your storage space. The Task Log provides information about current or
recurring processes in your storage space, such as the creation of a logical drive. Single-click any event
or task to see more information in an easier-to-read format. For more information about the Event
Log and Task Log, see
Viewing Activity Status in the Event Log
on page 87 and

Warning- and Error-level icons appear next to components in the Enterprise View affected by a failure
or error, creating a trail, or rapid fault isolation, that helps you identify the source of a problem when
it occurs. See
Identifying a Failed or Failing Component
on page 108 for more information.
If your storage space includes a drive enclosure with a temperature sensor, temperature, fan, and power
module status is displayed on the Storage Dashboard (see
Monitoring Enclosure Status
on page 90).
