Adding a message log view

The message log gives you an overview of changes in situation status on your monitored network. You can add the view to any workspace.

Before you begin

To create a new view and edit its properties, your user ID requires Workspace Author Mode permission. For the message log view, your user ID also requires View permission for Events.

Procedure

  1. Open the workspace where you want to add the message log view.
  2. If you want the view to occupy a new pane, click Split vertical icon Split Vertically or Split horizontal icon Split Horizontally in one of the views.
    The pane divides and a duplicate is created. If you split the Navigator, the new view is empty.
  3. Click Message log view Message Log.
    The mouse pointer changes to the view icon (hand icon in Linux). If you get the wrong icon or decide not to add the view, press Escape or click somewhere in the main toolbar.
  4. Click inside the view where you want the message log.

Results

For each change of situation status in your monitored network, new rows are added to the top of the view. Beyond the limit of 500 rows (apply quick settings to lower the limit), old rows are deleted as new rows arrive.
