Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting
Events
are short text messages that describe the change of an operational status. They are generated by
Wanguard components and logged by Console.
You can list events in Reports » Components » [Component Name] » [Component Type] Event sub-tab. To
search, sort or filter event messages, click the small down arrow that appears when hovering over the Event column
header. To see additional details about an event click the <+> button from the first column.
To see a recent list of
Latest Events
, click the small bottom edge of the window to raise the South Region or
press Ctrl+E. On one side the Latest Events tab displays the latest 60 events, while on the other side it shows a list of
components that can generate events and the number of events generated in the last 24 hours by each component.
The number's color indicates the maximum severity of the events: red means that there are ERRORS, blue is for INFO
events, etc.
The event's
severity
indicates its importance:
●
MELTDOWN
– Meltdown events are generated in severe situations, such as hardware failures.
●
CRITICAL
– Critical events are generated when significant software errors occur, such as a memory
exhaustion situation.
●
ERROR
– Error events are usually caused by misconfigurations, communication errors between
components, or bugs. Sensors auto-recover from errors by restarting themselves.
●
WARNING
– Warning events are generated when authentication errors occur, on I/O bottlenecks or
when there are time synchronization issues.
●
INFO
– Informational events are generated when configurations are changed or when users log in to
Console.
●
DEBUG
– Debug events are generated to help troubleshooting coding errors.
As an administrator, you should keep events with high severities under surveillance! Configure Console to
send important events periodically by email, Syslog or SNMP in Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting.
To send events by SNMP, fill the
SNMP Host
,
Community
,
and
SNMP OID
fields.
