Accessing the Event Log 413
You now see the log entries in Event tab that match the criteria of the
filter that you chose.
To monitor event messages for a WX switch in the network plan, the
switch must be in the list of monitored switches configured on the
monitoring service. In addition, the log monitoring option must be
enabled on the service. (See “Changing 3WXM Services Preferences” on
page 479.)
Filtering Events by Content
When using the predefined filters, you can limit the events you see in
Event tab by specifying criteria such as IP address, date, or text in the log
message. You can use advanced filters to further limit the events you see.
To filter messages by content:
1 In the Event Source box, type an event source name or part of an event
source name. You can type more than one name or partial name.
For example, type 3WXM if you want to see only 3WXM events. If you
have a WX named wx1, type wx1 to see only events related to wx1. To
see events related to all WX switches whose names start with wx, type
wx.
To set the search criteria, select one of the following:
 contains the string — The filter looks for messages that contain the
entire string you entered.
 contains all of the strings — The filter looks for messages that
contain all the strings you entered. Select this option if you enter more
than one string and want to see messages that contain all the strings.
 contains at least one of the strings — The filter looks for messages
that contain one or more of the strings you entered. Select this option
if you enter more than one string and want to see messages that
contain any of the strings.
2 In the Message box, type a word or exact phrase used in a message.
For example, if you type vlan, you see all events that contain vlan in
the message.
Set the search criteria by selecting contains the string, contains all of the
strings, or contains at least one of the strings.
