Events

To view all events for your organization, click on the "Monitoring" tab, and select "Events".

On this screen, you will find a listing of all events, also known as "event sources". Each event source can be enabled/disabled, have its properties changed (including the type of event instances it generates), and assigned a severity and one or more categories.

Columns

This screen has the following columns:

• Name - the name of the event source

• Description - a short description of the event source

• Categories - one or more categories for the event

• State - whether or not the event source is enabled or disabled. If it is disabled, it will not generate any events

• Severity - the relative importance of the events that the event source generates
