POSTING MESSAGES TO THE REPORT WINDOW

Posting Messages to the Report Window

Both predefined and user-defined system activity may be specified in the Event Manager to be posted to EliteView’s Report window. If any event criteria have been met, then this window will display a chronological list of pertinent messages stamped by time and date.

To view the Report window, select Report from the Utilities menu of the main EliteView program, or click on the Report icon in the EliteView program group.

The Report window shows user-definable messages in chronological order. Entries placed in the Report window by the Event Manager include connection lost, device up, tftp, and trap messages.
