•Click the Events icon in the Launchpad to launch the Event Bro wser application. The Ev ent Browser
window appears.
Event Browser allows you to view all alarms on all objects. The Query Editor window appears
automatically when you launch the Event Browser application. The Query Editor allows you to set

When the event browser is launched against an object, by default, all the alarms against that object
and its descendents are displayed in the event browser. For e.g., if the event browser is launched
against a chassis, then by default it displays all the alarms against the chassis and the module and
interfaces objects available in that chassis. Refer to the Cisco Elem en t Man agement Framework
