• You may display events of a particular severity or a particular category.
• You may display events that occurred during a specified interval.
• You may display events based on their state; see Event states on page 386.
Event log display fields
The following fields are always displayed in the Event Log window:

Information window, which contains details about the event.
• Date/Time - Displays the date and time of an event in the client computer’s time zone.
• Description - Short description of an event.
The following fields may be displayed. Use the Customize link to add or remove fields in the
display. See Using the Customize link in windows on page 30.
• State - New or Acknowledged. See Event states on page 386. This field is displayed only
when the Show All button is enabled. Its display is not affected by customization.
• Category - Category of an event log entry.
• Detailed Description - Detailed information, which may include the name of a target
device, session type, user and so on. For example, a MIB-II interface link up trap might

Description column contains Generic link up interface 1.
• DSView Server - Name of the DSView server where the event was logged.
• Event ID - Unique event identifier, which can be useful for sorting displays.
