• Minor - Only events of the severity type, minor, are displayed.
• Major - Only events of the severity type, major, are displayed.
• Critical - Only events of the severity type, critical, are displayed.
4. Select which events of an element type you want displayed. Use the Control and Shift keys to
select multiple severities. The following options are provided:
•All
• Application
•Host
•Switch
•Storage System
• Tape Library
•Fabric
•Other
• HP Storage Essentials
5. To set the filter by summary text, enter the text you want to be used for the filter in the Summary
Text Contains field.
You may want to use this option when you are seeing several events that span over several
elements or severity levels.
For example, let’s assume you are wondering if someone else is logging into the management
server as admin. You can find how often the admin user has logged into the management server
over the last few days by entering the following text in the Summary Text Contains field:
User admin logged in
6. To set the filter by element name enter text in the Element Name Contains field.
This feature can be helpful if you are interested in events from elements that have similar names.
For example, let’s assume you have a naming convention for hosts, where all hosts that belong
to the engineering group begin with engineering. Event Manager could display only events from
those hosts by entering engineering in the Element Name Contains field.
7. To set a filter by cleared status, select one or more of the following by using the Control and Shift
keys.
• All - All events regardless of their clear status
• All But Clear - All events except for those marked clear
• Clear - Only events marked clear
8. If you want events to be merged together, select the option, Collapse all events with same
severity, type and element.
This feature is very useful when numerous events of the same severity, type and element are
being picked up by the HP Storage Essentials. If you select the option, Collapse all events with
same severity, type and element, the HP Storage Essentials displays just unique events with a
total count in front of them, rather than list all of the events individually.
9. If you want Event Manager to filter elements automatically at a set interval, select the
Automatically filter every option and select one of the following:
