Viewing the event log

System events are logged when the system settings are changed or when problems occur with the virtual appliance. Use the Event Log page to view or export system events on your network.

1. From the top-level menu of the virtual appliance console, click Monitor > Logs > Event Log.
2. On the System Events tab, take one of the following actions:
   • Click Start Live Streaming to view a live update of the event log.
   • Click Pause Live Streaming to stop the live updating of the event log.
   • Filter the system events by completing the following steps:
     1. Click the filter icon to display the Filter window.
     2. From the Column list, select one of the following columns to filter the events:
        • Any Column
        • Priority
        • Event ID
        • Event Description
        • Time Occurred
        Note: When you select Any Column in the Column field and specify a filter criteria that applies to the Time Occurred column, the virtual appliance does not return results. Select Time Occurred in the Column field to filter values in that column.
     3. From the Condition list, select a filter condition. The available filter conditions vary depending on the column that you selected for filtering. The possible filtering conditions include these options:
        • contains
        • is
        • starts with
        • ends with
        • before
        • after
        • range
     4. In the Value field, specify a filter value.
     5. Click Filter to apply the filter or click Clear to clear the filter and view all events.
   • Click Export to download the displayed event log data to a CSV file.
     Note: The default file name is export.csv.

     • In the exported event log file, the Time Occurred column shows the time since Epoch (1 January 1970, 00:00:00 Universal time).
     • When you use the table filter on the Priority field, the values that can be filtered are in English only (low, medium, and high). This behavior is expected on all language versions of the virtual appliance.
   • To clear the filter and display all events, click the Clear filter link next to the filter icon under the column headings.
