RAIDWatch's bottom window
provides access to two viewpanels: Event Log List and Configuration
List. The bottom window displays the Event LogList viewpanel as
default.
Event Log List
The event log list displays the contents of a chronological log of all the events
that occur during this session. System events can be categorized as follows:
* Subsystem component events
(such as a power supply unit, cooling module, or drive failure)
* Administrative activities (configuring a logical drive, or performing Media
Scan
* System alerts (temperature over thresholds or major component failures)
When a new event occurs, the severity of the new event will flash. When user sees a flashing icon should check the system status according to the new event description.
The Event Log viewpanel
provides two handy tools for users to better organize and keep track of past
events:
To toggle the system log reorganizing tools, Right click to
display the command menu.
Export All Logs
to a Text File: This allows you to save a simple "text" record
of past events onto your system drive.
Event Log Filter Option: This opens a configuration
panel that allows you to reorganize the event list display.
The Filter
panel allows you to organize and to sort events by its details. You may also
deselect some unwanted events, select the level of severity of events to display,
and narrow down the display list to those happened during a specific period
of time.
The Columns panel allows you to select/deselect the event log
display details. The details include:
* The event index
* The event severity
* The event type
* The time of occurrence
Event Log Clear Option: Through here you can select to Clear
All Logs or Clear Logs Preceding Index X, where "X"
is the event you selected by a left-click. Please be careful when deleting the
existing events. Once deleted, they cannot be retrieved unless you have previously
saved the event list.
