Event View
NetSight's Event View lets you view alarm, event, and trap information for the NetSight Console, network
devices, and other NetSight applications. Each tabbed view in the Event panel lets you scroll through the most
recent 10,000 entries in the logs that are configured for that view. A Console tab, showing Console events and
a Traps tab that captures traps from devices modeled in the NetSight database are provided when NetSight
Console is initially installed. The Syslog tab shows events from devices that are configured to use the
NetSight Syslog Server. You can add your own tabs that capture local logs. Local logs are not automatically
polled, but can be manually refreshed using the Refresh button.
With the Event tables, you can:
Configure your own tables to capture and combine similar information from various sources. For
example, you can combine event logs from other NetSight applications or merge trap logs into an
single Event View.

activity.
Traps

NOTE: If no trap information is being collected in the Traps tab, you may have more
than one trap daemon running on your system. NetSight Console includes an
SNMP trap daemon that must be the only trap daemon running on your system. If
there is another trap daemon running, either the OS trap daemon or with another
