System and Resource Events

You can view the latest events in one place and manage the events based on the status.

The Events tab displays details about significant events in your monitored environment.

There are two categories of events:

• System Events

  The System Events tab displays Management and Event Action events generated when system settings must be verified or configured.

• Resource Events

  The Resource Events tab displays Performance events generated when a device or component (server, storage system, network device, and so on) does not perform optimally.

  You can analyze the Resource events by using the end-to-end network topology view to identify the resource that generated the event.

The All Events tab displays both System and Resource events. Each event indicates the level of the alert, the date and time of the alert message, category, device name, and component name. Click a message in the Message column to open the Event Detail window.

Use the Event Detail window to display more event details, such as the device type and component type. You can scroll through the list for more events. For Resource events, you can click Show E2E View to view the network topology.

The Event levels classifications are as follows:

• Critical: Event that requires immediate attention
• Warning: Event that might become critical in the future
• Informational: No immediate action required
