Using the Event Log

Description The event log displays all of the events for the either all managed nodes, or

events specific to selected parts of a managed node. An event is an occurrence or

condition that the system detects and is recorded in the event log. Conditions that

can cause an event to appear in the event log include:

• Data collection failure

• Report generation failure

• Managed node not meeting the established threshold

• Trunk group not meeting threshold service

Each managed node has its own event log, but the master event log contains all

events for all managed nodes.

This procedure describes how to view and interpret the Master Event Log.
