Monitoring events

You can click the column head to sort the events by a particular column, and drag the column

divider to resize a column. You can also right-click a column heading to resize one or all

columns, sort the information in ascending or descending order, or choose which columns are

displayed.

You can also filter events, as described in “Filtering Fabric and Switch Events,” next.

FILTERING FABRIC AND SWITCH EVENTS

You can filter the fabric and switch events by time, severity, message ID, and service. You can apply

either one type of filter at a time or multiple types of filters at the same time. Click the Filter button

to display the Event Filter dialog box (see Figure 27 on page 51).

When a filter is applied, the filter information appears at the bottom of the filtered information and

the Show All link is available to allow you to view the information unfiltered.

NOTE

For two-switch configurations, click the Events button for a given switch to automatically filter out the

switch service events from the other switch. Chassis service is shown in both events lists.

1. Open the Fabric Events window or the Switch Events tab as described in “Displaying Fabric

Events” on page 49 or “Displaying Switch Events” on page 50.

2. Click Filter.

The Event Filter dialog box appears.
