Monitoring Events
As with the Network Status Summary screen, the operator can save all or selected event
messages in a clipboard file for subsequent printing or editing or for input to a program.
Configuring the Events Screens
ViewPoint determines how to build an event display by looking at the current event
configuration file. A default event configuration file is supplied with the application.
However, the ViewPoint operator or application manager can use the Profile screen to
specify another existing event configuration file as the current configuration file.
Two configuration screens allow you to alter an event configuration file: the Primary
Event Configuration screen and the Alternate Event Configuration screen. When
you use these screens to change event configuration, the change is recorded in the
current event configuration file. As a general rule, you should make your changes to a
configuration file that is not the default file.
