Event Log Overview 1 Messages originate in response to events that occur in the fabric, and may be viewed through both the Switch Manager application and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Event Log Overview Displaying events using the Switch Manager application Switch Manager provides an Event Browser (Figure 1), which displays events from the switch event log and events that are generated by Switch Manager itself. The Event Browser formats events by severity icon (listed in Table 2), timestamp, source, type, and description. Events read from the switch event log obtain the timestamp from the switch clock, while events generated by Switch Manager use the workstation clock.
Event Log Overview Displaying events using CLI When you log into the switch through Telnet, the CLI automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur. Refer to the HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide for more information about these commands.
Event Log Overview Configuring the event log You can customize which events are recorded in the switch event log using the CLI Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level.
Event Log Overview Configuring port alarm thresholds You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and enabling or disabling the alarm.
