Dashboard view

The default view in opEvents shows the Dashboard which displays the Events by Node. From this page you can visually see which devices are generating the most 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. 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 of times this 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.

Events view

Navigating to menu Views -> Events you can see a bit more detailed view of the table on the Dashboards page. Notice above the table in the top left displays the total number of events along with the date and time period reported on. With added editions of the State and Acknowledged columns you see which events need action and which have already been acknowledged by another member of your team. This page has the search box and time filter options as well. If desired, you can change the page to display more than 25 events at a time by scrolling to the bottom of the page and selecting the drop down Show menu item. To the left of the Show menu item is a button which allows for this page to be exported to CSV granting you and your team the ability to share a detailed report of the events across your devices.

Current Events view

In this view you can Acknowledge events that have recently occurred and may not have been looked at yet. It allows for quick event acknowledgement by the bulk acknowledge feature which is accomplished by clicking the boxes next to each event then clicking the blue Acknowledge button. You can also acknowledge all of the events on this page at one time by clicking the box in the top left of the table which selects all of the events. As in the previous views you may show more than 10 events on the page as well as search for events and filter the time period shown.
