Overview of Event Viewer
Time Slider
The time slider resides below the events table when you are using an historical view; it is not used with
real-time views. The following illustration explains the time slider; the pagination controls on the right
are explained in Table 66-7.
Figure 66-4 Time Slider Elements
You can use the time slider to do the following:
•View the EPS (events per second) trends for the server. You can use the controls on the right to zoom
in or out to get a better view of the EPS trends over the time frame that concerns you.
You can also click and drag the background of the time slider to position the time ranges within the
window. Moving the background does not affect the selected time range.
•Select a slice of time for displaying events in the table, either by moving the vertical slider or by
using the pagination controls. The position of the vertical slider determines the most recent event
displayed in the event table. Whenever you alter the time slice, the event table is reloaded with the
events that match the time period.
