Manager enables you to create event rules about the traffic on
your network and network security. When the conditions for a rule are
met, an event is generated. See Chapter 9
for information on configuring
event rules.
Events are also generated by the Collector and Reporter processes.
The Event List in Traffix Manager displays events generated by all these
sources, and supports various viewing options. With the Event List, you
can view selected events in greater detail, and use data from an event to
drive the display in the Map.
