Viewing the event logs

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

1. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, click Monitor > Logs > Event Log. The Event Log page displays system events in the System Events tab.
2. From the System Events tab, do one of the following actions.
   • Click Pause Live Streaming to stop the live updating of the event log.
   • Click Start Live Streaming to resume live updating of the event log.
   • Filter the system events with the following steps:
     1. Click Filter to display the Filter window.
     2. From the Column list, select a column name to filter on it. The column names are as follows:
        • Any Column
        • Priority
        • Event ID
        • Event Description
        • Time Occurred
        Note: The virtual appliance does not return results for the Time Occurred column when you select Any Column. Select the Time Occurred column to filter values in that column.
     3. From the Condition list, select a filter condition. Available filter conditions vary depending on the tab that you selected in the event log. The possible filtering conditions include these options:
        • contains

     2. When you use the table filter on the Priority field, the values that can be filtered are in English only (low, medium, and high) on all language versions of the virtual appliance.
