Monitoring Alarms and Events
The NetSight Event View (located at the bottom of the NetSight Console main window) lets you view alarm, event, and trap information for Console and other NetSight applications. There are four Event View tabs when Console is first installed: Console, Alarms, Traps, and Syslog. In addition, there are tabs for each NetSight application you have installed.
You can use the Event View Manager (Tools > Alarm/Event > Event View Manager) to add additional event logs to suit your needs and use the Alarms Manager (Tools > Alarm/Event > Alarms Manager) to configure network alarms that provide status information for a particular problem on a particular network device. Refer to How to Configure Alarms for more information on configuring network alarms.
Each tabbed view in the Event View lets you scroll through the most recent 10,000 entries in the logs that are configured for that view. By default the table is sorted chronologically using the entries in the Date/Time column, with the most recent entry in the top row.
You can check the Acknowledge column to mark entries that you've viewed, then click the
to hide the rows containing acknowledged events and traps. Each table's right-click menu provides options to hide or show multiple rows with a single operation.
