Events report

The Events report enables you to view information about event trends over a specific time period. This information enables you to compare recent activity with any past operational activity, such as configuration changes, upgrades, and so on. The information also helps you to determine any outstanding events.

  • Events report Chart view
  • Events report tabular view

You can view the details for specific points on the graph by positioning your cursor over a particular point. The details display the event severity, number of events of the specific severity type, and the date of the event.
