Displaying the Event Browser

The Event Browser is a compilation of messages that have been generated by the switches in the fabric in response to various events. The event format consists of a severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The Event Browser shown in Figure 3-2, displays the event log and provides an opportunity to filter, sort, and export the contents to a file. To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event Browser or choose the Events button. If the Show Event Browser selection or the Events button is grayed-out, you must first enable the Events Browser preference. Refer to ”Setting SANbox Manager Preferences” on page 2-11.
