Filtering the event browser | HP SAN specs

Filtering the event browser

Filtering the Event Browser enables you to display only those events that are of interest based on the event

severity, timestamp, source, type, and description. To filter the Event Browser, open the Filter menu and select Filter Entries. This opens the Filter Events dialog shown in Figure 11. The Event Browser displays

those events that meet all of the criteria in the Filter Events dialog. If the filtering criteria is cleared or changed, then all the events that were previously hidden that satisfy the new criteria will be shown.

You can filter the event browser in the following ways:

•Severity — select one or more of the corresponding options to display alarm events, critical events, warning events, or informative events.

•Date/Time — select one or both of the From: and To: options. Enter the bounding timestamps (MM/dd/yy hh:mm:ss aa) to display only those events that fall within those times. (aa indicates AM or PM.) The current year (yy) can be entered as either 2 or 4 digits. For example, 12/12/03 will be interpreted December 12, 2003.

•Text — select one or more of the corresponding options and enter a text string (case sensitive) for event source, type, and description. The Event Browser displays only those events that satisfy all of the search specifications for the Source, Type, and Description text.

Saving the event browser to a file

You can save the displayed Event Browser entries to a file. Filtering affects the save operation, because only displayed events are saved. To save the Event Browser to a file:

1.Filter and sort the Event Browser to obtain the desired display. See ”Sorting the event browser” on page 32 and ”Filtering the event browser” on page 33 for more information.

2.Select File > Save As.

3.Select a pathname to which to save the event log and click Save. The file can be saved in XML, CSV, or text format. XML files can be opened with an internet browser or text editor. CSV files can be opened with most spreadsheet applications.
