Identifying problems using event lists

You can monitor all network events in a single event list. Use the Fault-Finding View to monitor network events.

About this task

The Fault-Finding View shows events in the Event Viewer. When you click on an event, the Network Hop View GUI displays connectivity for the device on which the event occurred.

To monitor all network events, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Click the Incident icon and select Network Availability > Fault-Finding View.
    The Fault-Finding View page appears with the Event Viewer widget above and the Network Hop View widget below.
    Note: When you first open the Fault-Finding View page, the Event Viewer widget displays all events in the ObjectServer and the Network Hop View widget is empty.
  2. Select an event of interest in the Event Viewer, or right-click an event and then click Broadcast Topology Context.
    The Network Hop View GUI now displays the network topology related to the selected event.
    Restriction: Results vary if you select multiple events in the Event Viewer.
    • If all the selected events occurred on the same network device, then the Network Hop View widget only displays the network topology related to that device.
    • If the selected events occurred on different devices, then the Network Hop View widget does not display any network topology .
