HP AA-RW20A-TE manual 44

Entries in the Event Browser shown in Figure 21 are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is 1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events are discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the switch, use the switch time stamp, while event entries generated by the application have a workstation time stamp. You can filter, sort, and export the contents of the Event Browser to a file. The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and switch management application is running.

Severity is indicated in the severity column using icons as described in Table 5. Table 5 Severity levels

Severity icon	Description
	Alarm — an alarm is a "serviceable event". This means that attention by
	the user or field service is required. Alarms are posted asynchronously to
	the screen and cannot be turned off. If the alarm denotes that a system
	error has occurred the customer and/or field representative will generally
	be directed to provide a "show support" capture of the switch.
	Critical event — an event that indicates a potential failure. Critical log
	messages are events that warrant notice by the user. By default, these log
	messages will be posted to the screen. Critical log messages do not have
	alarm status as they require no immediate attention from a user or service
	representative.
	Warning event — an event that indicates errors or other conditions that
	may require attention to maintain maximum performance. Warning
	messages will not be posted to the screen unless the log is configured to
	do so. Warning messages are not disruptive and, therefore, do not meet
	the criteria of Critical. The user need not be informed asynchronously
No icon	Informative — an unclassified event that provides supporting information
