What the Event Information section displays

You use the Event Information section on the Event details page to view the details about a selected event, such as the event severity, impact level, impact area, and event source.

Fields that are not applicable to the event type are hidden. You can view the following event details:

Event Trigger Time
The time at which the event was generated.
State
The event state: New, Acknowledged, Resolved, or Obsolete.
Obsoleted Cause
The actions that caused the event to be obsoleted, for example, the issue was fixed.
Event Duration
For active (new and acknowledged) events, this is the time between detection and the time when the event was last analyzed. For obsolete events, this is the time between detection and when the event was resolved.

This field is displayed for all performance events, and for other event types only after they have been resolved or obsoleted.

Last Seen
The date and time at which the event was last seen as active.

For performance events this value may be more recent than the Event Trigger Time as this field is updated after each new collection of performance data as long as the event is active. For other types of events, when in the New or Acknowledged state, this content is not updated and the field is therefore hidden.

Severity
The event severity: Critical (), Error (), Warning (), and Information ().
Impact Level
The event impact level: Incident, Risk, or Event.
Impact Area
The event impact area: Availability, Capacity, Performance, Protection, or Configuration.

When viewing the details for a shared QoS policy event, up to three of the workload objects that are consuming the most IOPS or MBps are listed in this field.

You can click the source name link to display the health or performance details page for that object.

Source Annotations

This field is displayed only for health events on clusters, SVMs, and volumes.

The name of the cluster on which the event occurred.
You can click the cluster name link to display the health or performance details page for that cluster.
