Field Descriptions
2. Page. Page number of event messages you are currently viewing. The number of
the END page (the only one that is updated as new event messages come in)
continues to increment until it reaches the configured size of the cache; then, it
remains at that number. A field following the page field tells you that you are on the
END page. Earlier pages are numbered downward from the END page. Search
through the various pages of earlier events. Note that this is the end page, as
indicated in the upper-right corner of this screen.
•
To observe earlier events, press PREV PAGE (or PG UP on some terminals).
•
When the current page is not the last page, press NEXT PAGE (or PG DN on
some terminals) to observe later events.
•
To select the first page, press SHIFT-PREV PAGE (or ALT-PG UP).
Alternatively, you can type the page number in the option line and then press
F3.
•
To select the END page, press SHIFT-NEXT PAGE or by selecting a page
number of 20 (or greater). Notice that only the END page gets updated as new
event messages arrive.
3. Collector. Name of the event collector process that collected the event messages
you are viewing.
4. Filter. Name of the filter file that was used to pass the event messages you are
viewing. Only the file-name portion of the name is shown, excluding the volume
and subvolume portions.
5. Action. Number of unique outstanding action events for the current display
(primary or alternate). If action events are not configured to be displayed, the
number in this field is dimmed on the screen.
Note that two or more action events with the same subject, the same ACTION-ID
token value, and from the same system, are counted as a single unique action event.
When more than one of these duplicate events are displayed, only the most recent is
highlighted.
6. Critical. Number of outstanding critical events for the current display (primary or
alternate). If the event display configuration did not include critical events, the
number in this field is dimmed on the screen.
7. Frozen. This field is normally blank. It displays the word FROZEN after you press
F8 (Freeze screen) while viewing the END page. (Using F8 is meaningful only on
the END page because only that page scrolls as new messages arrive.) While the
display is frozen, new messages accumulate in the event cache. The messages are
not displayed until you press SF8, Thaw screen. This is also true for updates to the
twenty-fifth line.
8. Event Selection. This is a one-character field (per line) that allows you to select
individual event messages for copying to your clipboard file, for deleting
outstanding events, or for requesting details about an event.
