Query Events
------------
You can use this function to search for and view both alarm and
normal logged messages from Events. The Query Event Messages window
will appear, as shown below.
Fields
This window contains the following fields:
Query Hosts
Use these toggles to specify which hosts to query for reports. The
options are:
+ Hosts In Exception Pool (the default)
+ Hosts In Current Pool
+ Specific Host(s)
If you choose the Specific Host(s) option, use the text field to the
right of that option to specify which host(s) to check for messages.
Leave a blank space between host names for multiple entries. You can
also click on the arrow button to the right to pop up a pick list of
all hosts within the current pool and make your selection(s) from
there.
Message Type
Use these toggles to specify which type of messages to search for in
the reports. The options are:
+ Event Messages Only
+ Log Messages Only
+ Both Messages (the default)
Event Messages are Events alarm messages generated by a test
crossing a user-defined threshold. Log Messages are those Events
informational messages generated when a test runs without generating
an event and that (successful) result is logged.
Message Severity Level
You can use these toggles to choose what severity level of the
messages to use in the search. The options are:
+ Severe Message
+ Info Message
+ Error Message
+ Okay Message
+ Warning Message
You can select more than one severity level to use in the search;
you must select at least one severity level. The default is all
levels of message severity will be queried during the search.
Test Name Filter
You can use this field to limit the search to specific test names.
You may type in the entire test name or just the first few letters
of the test name. All tests whose name contains part or all of the
specified string will be queried. Leave a blank space between test
names for multiple entries. You can also click on the arrow button
to the right to pop up a pick list of all pre-defined standard
Events tests and make your selection(s) from there.
You can also use the standard UNIX wild cards `*', `[]', and `?' in
this field (e.g., /home/*).
Number of Messages per Host
Events logs can become large very quickly and therefore take more
time to search. You can use this field to help speed up the search
time and only view the most recent X messages per host. You can also
use the counter buttons to the right to increment or decrement the
number displayed. The most recent message is always displayed first.
Timestamp between ... and
You can use these two fields to limit the search to messages logged
between the specified times. See "TIME FORMATS" on page C-1 for
details on specifying this time-date value.
Buttons
This window contains the following button:
Execute Query
Once you've made your selections, click on this button to begin the
search process. When the query is completed, the results will be
displayed in the event viewer window.
