Removing an event item

When you open an event results workspace, a new item is displayed in the Navigator. If you use event acknowledgment, other icons overlay the situation icon. If you close the event, all overlay icons are removed, but the Navigator item itself is not removed until you end your Cloud Pak System Software Monitoring Portal session. If you do not want to have the event item in the Navigator, you can remove it. This does not affect the event or operation of the situation, only its appearance in the Navigator.

Procedure

To remove an event item, in the Navigator right-click the Situation situation name and click Close view Remove.
The event item is removed from the Navigator. To see it again, you need open its workspace by selecting the true situation from the event flyover list.

Example

Here are some examples of event icons that you might see in the Navigator:
Critical event A critical event.
Warning event A warning event.
acknowledgedWarning A warning event that has been acknowledged.
Warning acknowledgment expired A warning event whose acknowledgment has expired.
Warning acknowledgment removed A warning event whose acknowledgment was removed while the event was still open.
Situation A true situation whose event has been closed.
Status Unknown An agent whose status is unknown. The monitoring server detects that the agent is offline. It might have been taken offline intentionally, there might be a communication problem, or the agent or the system it is running on might have stopped or be failing.
