Viewing common event connector status

You can use the toolbar to view the status of the configured common event connectors.

About this task

Common event connectors retrieve event data from event repositories and format it for display by the common event console. Each configured connector retrieves event data from a specific event repository.

The status and operational capability of an event connector can be affected by various conditions such as network outages or problems on the event repository server.

You can determine connector status in two ways:

Procedure
