Dashboard View

By default, opEvents opens in the Dashboard view that displays the Events by Node. It lists the devices that you can visually see which devices are generating the most number of events.Clicking on the pie chart or the graph to the right of it allows you to drill into the events of a specific device or the list of events that occurred in specific time periods. Clicking on the device name at the bottom of the Events by Node charts allows you to filter out devices you do not want to display on the charts granting you the ability to customize your charts view. 

• Use the time Filter function located at the top right corner of the chart to specify the particular time period you want to look for the events in.
• Hover over a segment of the pie chart to see the device name.

• If you don't want to display a specific device on the chart/graph, you can filter it out by clicking on its name in the legend below the chart/graph. 

In the table below the two charts, you can see the time of the event, the node, the event name, description of the event, the amount number of times this the event occurred, the priority, and the most recent state of the node. These can be sorted by event count, priority, event name, or which ever makes finding relevant events easier. The table also has a search field located above the count column making finding specific events quickly.

With the time filter located in the top right of the chart you can filter the time period to view events generated during certain time windows.

• Click on a column name/heading to sort the events list by ascending or descending order and find the required events more easily.
