• Severity Level - Displays links that may be clicked to display event log entries of a particular
severity level (Monitor, Information, OK, Non-Critical, Critical or Non-Recoverable).
• Event Category - Displays links that may be clicked to display event log entries in a particular
event category (System, Authentication, Users, Units, Tasks, Unit Status, Access Control

Clicking on a link beneath Severity Level or Event Category in the side navigation bar will display
a window containing a listing of all event log events in the DSView software system that belong to
that particular type.
Additional commands are available in the side navigation bar to disable currently enabled events,
specify how long the event log should be retained, specify who should be notified by email when
an event log event occurs and to export the event log to a .csv file.
Detailed information about an event log event may be viewed by clicking on its name in the
Severity column.
