Figure 3-9. The Alert Log

Each alert has the following fields of information:

Status – The level of severity of the event generated. Severity levels can be Information, Normal, Warning, and Critical. If the alert is new (has not yet been acknowledged), the New symbol is also in the Status column.

Alert – The specific event identification.

Date/Time – The date and time the event was received by the Browser Interface. This value is shown in the format: DD-MM-YY HH:MM:SS AM/PM, for example, 12-Sep-97 3:57:20 PM.

Description – A short narrative statement that describes the event. For example, Lost connection to multiple devices on port 1.

Sorting the Alert Log Entries

The alerts are sorted, by default, by the Date/Time field with the most recent alert listed at the top of the list. The second most recent alert is displayed below the top alert and so on. If alerts occurred at the same time, the simultaneous alerts are sorted by order in which they appear in the MIB.

The alert field that is being used to sort the alert log is indicated by which column heading is in bold. You can sort by any of the other columns by clicking on the column heading. The Alert and Description columns are sorted alpha- betically, while the Status column is sorted by severity type, with more critical severity indicators appearing above less critical indicators.
