Events and Event Logs
Using the Reports Tab in the Explorer Window
When an enabled, defined event occurs in the HMX Manager appliance, it is saved in the event log.
Events are classified by severity and category. You can display the event log content or view details
about an individual event log entry. If you wish, you can also export event logs to Microsoft Excel
for further analysis. It is also possible to change the event log’s retention period and export the
event log’s content. Event logs can be managed from the Reports tab in the HMX Explorer.
NOTE: It is not possible to manually delete event logs. The HMX Manager appliance automatically deletes logs
which have expired.
You can customize event log displays either by displaying all events in the log, or displaying events
of a particular severity or a particular category.
Event log display fields
Click the Reports tab to display the Event Log - All window. The following fields are displayed:
• Severity - Clicking an entry under this field will display a window which contains details about
the event.
• Date/Time - Displays the date and time of an event in the appliance's time zone.
• Description - Short description of an event.
