378 CHAPTER 14: USING THE EVENT LOG
Refreshing Event Data
By default, the event data is refreshed whenever the 3WXM client
generates a new message for itself, or receives a new message from the
3WXM Services.
To disable automatic refreshing of events, clear the Auto-update
checkbox and click Apply. (The checkbox is located on the Filters tab.)
To manually refresh events at any time, click on the Event tab’s
toolbar.
Reviewing Event Details
To see the details for a specific event, select the event. Event details
appear in the Details tab.
Filtering Event Messages
You can limit the events you see in the Event tab by using predefined
filters in 3WXM or by specifying filter criteria based on content, facility, or
severity. You can save specified filter criteria as a stored filter.
Using Predefined
Event Filters
To use predefined filters, select one of the following from the Name list in
the Stored Filters group box:
All Entries—Shows all entries in the log.
3WXM—Shows only 3WXM client events.
Server—Shows only 3WXM Services events.
Today—Shows only events that occurred today.
Last 24 Hours—Shows only events that occurred in the last 24 hours.
Last 500 Entries—Shows only the last 500 entries in the log.
Filters specific to the WX switches. For example, if you have a WX
switch named wx1, you see a filter named WX ‘wx1’ in the list.
You now see the log entries in Event tab that match the criteria of the
filter that you chose.
