The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and Enterprise Fabric Suite
2007 is running. If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog, the
next time Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 is started all events from the switch log will
be displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007
is started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser
was enabled and forward will be displayed.

Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface
automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show
Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are
displayed in the command stream as they occur. Refer to the Command Line
Interface Guide for your switch for more information about the Show Log
command.
In the command line interface, each message has the following format:
[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]
[ordinal]
– A number assigned to each message in sequence since that last
time the alarm history was cleared.
[time_stamp]
– The time the alarm was issued in the format
day-month-hh:mm:ss:ms-yyyy. This time stamp comes from the switch for events
that originate with the switch, and from the workstation for events that originate
from Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.
[severity]
– The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning,
I–Informative.
[source]
– The program module or application that generated the event.
Sources include Zoning, Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management Server. Alarms do
not include the source.
[message_ID]
– A number that identifies the message using the following
format:
category.message_number
[message_text]
– The alarm message text
Consider the following Informative level event example from the Switch source:
[1][Wed May 26 12:30:29.965 UTC 2004][I][8400.0022][Switch][Successful login user
(snmp@IB-session6) with admin privilege]
