How to Configure Events
You can use the Event View Manager window to add your own views (tabs) to the Event View panel. You
can create custom tables that capture and combine similar information (same log type) from various sources.
For example, you can combine or merge trap logs into a single Event View.

Type a Name for your new view. The name can be up to 32 characters long. Spaces and special
characters are not permitted. This is the name that will appear on the tab for your new view in the
Event panel.

Check one or more standard columns (System Name, System Location, System Description) to add
those columns to your new view or check Custom to add custom columns. Custom columns can be
added for any column from the NSDEVICES table. The NSDEVICES table can be found in the
NsSchema.xml
file in the <install area>

delimited string using the following format:
objName.objField:columnName
where:
objName.objField is the field name from the NSDEVICES table.
columnName is the name that will appear as the column heading.
For example:
chassisID:Chassis

You will need to Refresh the Event View in order to see any changes.
