See these important points on filtering:
• Events are processed through the filter using OR logic.
• Events that you cleared in the Filter By Severity list never display in the filtered event log, even if the
selected in the Filter by Category list.
• Similarly, events that you clear in the Filter by Category list never display in the filtered event log.
To delete the log: To delete all events, click Clear Log. Deleted events cannot be retrieved.
To configure reverse lookup: Path: Diagnostics > Events Logs > Reverse Lookup
With reverse lookup enabled, when a
network-related event occurs, both the
IP address and the domain name for the
networked device with the event are
logged in the event log. If no domain
name entry exists for the device, only
its IP address is logged with the event.
Since domain names generally change
less frequently than IP addresses,
enabling reverse lookup can improve
the ability to identify addresses of
networked devices that are causing
events.
Reverse lookup is disabled by default. Enable it unless you have no DNS server configured or have poor network
performance because of heavy network traffic.
