gone offline. Event Manager provides the following information about the events:
• ID- The identification number assigned to the event
• Severity - Identifies the severity level.
• Time - The time the event was recorded.
• Element - The source of the event. An element can be a switch, host, application, fabric or
anything else on the network.
• Summary Text - A brief explanation of the event. When you click the text, the details of the event
are displayed.
• Event Type - Specifies whether the source of this event is an application, a host, etc.
• Count - The total count of similar events.
• Cleared - Specifies whether an event is cleared. See ”Clearing Events” on page 336.
• Delete - Click the icon to remove an event.
Event Manager also provides several buttons at the top of its screen:
