About the Event List monitor box window

Use this window to view one or more categories of alert information, as configured by your system administrator. Each alert category is depicted by a monitor box, which represents a filter and view that have been created for the event list. Filters enable you to display a subset of alerts based on specific criteria. Views enable you to choose which alert fields to display.

The Event List monitor box window is shown in the following figure.
