Brocade Communications Systems IP250 user manual Customizing the Events widget

Status widgets 7

The x-axis represents the number of occurrences of a particular event severity during the selected time period. If you pause on a bar, a tooltip shows the number of events with that severity level during the selected time period. Also, for each severity, the cumulative number of traps, application events, and security events is reported next to the horizontal bar. If Syslog messages are included, then they are included in the count. To conserve space, the number is shown as is or truncated to the nearest 1,000 ("K") or 1,000,000 ("M").

By default, Syslog events are included in the summary; however, because Syslog events occur at a much higher frequency than other events and therefore could skew the bars for the other events, you can exclude Syslog events. If they are excluded, they will not be displayed in the legend. Users’ selections are persisted (per user per server).

-Last 7 Days — Displays event information for the last 7 days, including the current day.

-Last 30 Days — Displays event information for the last 30 days, including the current day.
