By default, the following column displays in an Event Log window and may be removed by

events on page 277 more information.
By default, the following columns do not display in the Event Log window and may be added by

Target Device.
• Detailed Description - Displays detailed information about an event. Detailed descriptions may
include items such as the name of a target device, session type (KVM, serial or virtual media),
DSView software server, user and so on. For example, an MIB-II interface link up trap would
contain Appliance change of state in the Description column, while the Detailed Description
column would contain Generic link up interface 1.
• DSView Server - Displays the name of the DSView software server where the event
was logged.

• Unit - Displays the name of a managed appliance for an event.
• User - Displays the user associated with an event. For example, this column shows the name of
