84CHAPTER 10: VIEWING EVENTS
■By event rule.
■By device / group — You can select a grouping and a group or device. When launched for a particular group or device from the Map, the Event List shows all events in the event log which relate to the selected device or group.
Only events generated by event rules can be displayed in this way.
■By the time period in which events were generated — today, previous day, previous week, or previous month.
■To a specific time — You can specify start and end times for the current view.
Summarizing Events You can manage the display of the Event List by summarizing events, so that only one entry is shown for a number of events. When events are summarized, the number of events related to the summarized entry is displayed.
Events which have been filtered out are not displayed in the summary.
You can summarize events in one of the following ways:
■Summarize by device — You can show the number of events associated with each device that is not filtered out.
■Summarize by severity — Shows one entry per severity.
■Summarize by rule — Shows one entry per rule.
■Summarize by day — Shows one entry per day.
■Do not summarize.
Output of Events You can output events in the following ways:
■Export to CSV File — Saves the contents of the event log to a comma separated value (CSV) format file, which can be read into a spreadsheet or database application. The file name is overwritten each time the event is output.
