To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event Browser. If the Show Event Browser selection is grayed-out, you must first enable the Events Browser preference. See "Setting QuickTools preferences" (page 16). Column sorting buttons Severity column Figure 12 Event Browser dialog box The icons in the Severity column identify the operational state of the port, as described in Table 4. Table 4 Port operational states State No icon Description Alarm-An alarm is a "serviceable event." This means that attention by the user or field service is required. Alarms are posted asynchronously to the screen and cannot be turned off. If the alarm denotes that a system error has occurred, the customer and/or field representative may be directed to provide the support file from the switch. Critical event-An event that indicates a potential failure. Critical log messages are events that warrant notice by the user. By default, these log messages are posted to the screen. Critical log messages do not have alarm status as they require no immediate attention from a user or service representative. Warning event-An event that indicates errors or other conditions that may require attention in order to maintain maximum performance. Warning messages are not posted to the screen unless the log is configured to do so. Warning messages are not disruptive and therefore, do not meet the criteria of Critical. The user need not be informed asynchronously Informative-An unclassified event that provides only supporting information. NOTE: Events (Alarms, Critical, Warning, and Informative) generated by the web applet are not saved on the switch. They are permanently discarded when you close a QuickTools session; however, you can save these events to a file on the workstation before you close QuickTools and read it later with a text editor or browser. Events generated by the switch are stored on the switch, and are retrieved when the web applet is restarted. Some alarms are configurable.
