Table 3 briefly describes these features. The sections that follow explain each feature in detail, provide examples and list procedures stating how to use the feature effectively. Table 3: Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer Features Feature Description Marking IML Entries as Repaired Allows users to mark IML entries as repaired. After the user has physically repaired or replaced the failed component, change the status to "Repaired" thus lowering the severity of the event. Sorting the IML Allows users to sort on categories such as Description, Class, Severity, Count, Update and Initial Time. The utility initially sorts the events by Initial Time, displaying the most recent entries first. Filtering the IML Allows users to specify which entries are displayed in the viewer. This is a compound filter, allowing viewers to filter entries on more than one category. Exporting the IML Allows users to save the IML to a comma-separated file for viewing at a later date using a third-party application. 8
