• Deleting the event log: To delete all events recorded in the log, click Clear Event
Log on the Web page that displays the log. Deleted events cannot be retrieved.
For lists of all configurable events and their current configuration, select the
Administration tab, Notification on the top menu bar, and by event under Event
Actions on the left navigation menu.
Reverse Lookup (Logs>Events>reverse lookup). Reverse lookup is disabled by
default. Enable this feature unless you have no DNS server configured or have poor
network performance because of heavy network traffic.
With reverse lookup enabled, when a network-related event occurs, both the IP
address and the domain name for the networked device associated 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.
Events are processed through the filter using OR logic.
• Events that you do not select from the Filter By Severity list never
display in the filtered event log, even if the event occurs in a category
you selected from the Filter by Category list.
• Events that you do not select from the Filter by Category list never
display in the filtered event log, even if devices in the category enter an
alarm state you selected from the Filter by Severity list.
To disable the logging of events based on their assigned severity level or their
event category, see Configuring by group.
