Event Log

The Event Log component is intended for viewing and managing server events in the real-time mode. It also provides access to event history and allows to acknowledge events.

Event Log consists of two main parts: Current Events and Event History .

Both parts have a toolbar that helps to access frequently used functions. In the left part of both toolbars there is a drop down box that allows to select an Event Filter. Initially, the selected filter is <Empty Filter> which means that no events are shown.

In some cases Event Log component shows a predefined set of event types. In this case list of Event Filters and related buttons ("Reactivate Filter", "Configure Filter") are not available.

It is possible to sort events. To enable sorting, click on the column header. Subsequent clicks will change sorting order for this column between ascending and descending.

When the event list reaches a certain number of entries, a dropdown menu appears to select the maximum number of events to display per page, with pagination buttons appearing as necessary.

Clicking on a button in the Data column next to any event opens Data Table associated with it in a Data Table Editor.

Event Log uses Date Pattern, Time Pattern and Timezone settings specified in User Account Properties to properly convert and render different timestamps.

All date/time values are shown in active user's timezone.

Inherited Variables (Properties)

Event Log component is internally based on Data Table component, so it inherits its shared properties.

Mode

The event log component can work in two principal modes:

  • Custom Event List. In this mode, it shows only events specified by Events property. Primary visible columns are defined by Event Log component properties (see below). No additional fields are shown, and no filtering/highlighting is performed.

  • Event Filter. In this mode Event Log activates a server-side event filter specified by Event Filter setting and uses this filter to select and highlight events. Column model is also built according to the filter configuration.
