Managing events using the event list

Use the event list to manage events.

About the event list
Within the event list, each event represents a record in the alerts.status table.
Event list security
All Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus users belong to one or more user groups. Each group is assigned one or more roles, which determine the permissions for that group. The desktop tools that a user can access and the tasks that a user can perform with the desktop tools depend on the group to which the user belongs and the roles that are assigned to the group.
Event severity levels
A severity level is associated with each generated alert to help you to prioritize and manage alerts in the event list. Severity levels are color coded for easy identification.
