The Events report enables you to view information about event trends over a specific time period. This information enables you to compare recent activity with any past operational activity, such as configuration changes, upgrades, and so on. The information also helps you to determine any outstanding events.

Events report chart view

The Events report is displayed in two formats:

  • Events report chart view

  • Events report tabular view

The Events Chart is displayed in two formats:

  • Events Severity Trend (All open events)

  • Event Status Trend

The chart shows the event severity trends for all open events over a time period. A count of events is displayed on the vertical (y) axis and the date is displayed on the horizontal (x) axis. You can view the details for specific points on the graph by positioning your cursor over a particular point. The details display the event severity, number of events of the specific severity type, and the date of the event.

The event severity types displayed are Critical, Error, and Warning. The event severities are differentiated by different colors. There can be the same number of events on the same date in different states.

  • Count

    Displays a count of events.

  • Date

    Displays the date. The x axis shows data from the time that the event occurred up to the present date. You can click and zoom the chart to get details.

The chart shows the event status trending per day over a period of time. A count of events is displayed on the vertical (y) axis and the date is displayed on the horizontal (x) axis. The details display the event state, number of events of the specific state, and the date of the event.

The event status are New, Acknowledged, and Resolved. The event status are differentiated by different colors.

The chart shows the new events generated daily on a cumulative basis in a bar graph represented in green color. The number of Acknowledged and Resolved events are shown as and when they are acknowledged and resolved on a daily basis.
