Event Browser<br />
The Event Browser displays a list of events generated by the switches in the fabric<br />
and QuickTools. Events that are generated by QuickTools are not saved on the<br />
switch, but can be saved to a file during the QuickTools session.<br />
Entries in the Event Browser, shown in Figure 5, are formatted by severity, time<br />
stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in<br />
the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is<br />
1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events are<br />
discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the switch use the<br />
switch time stamp, while event entries generated by the web applet have a<br />
workstation time stamp. You can filter, sort, and export the contents of the Event<br />
Browser to a file. The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and<br />
QuickTools is running.<br />
If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog, the next time<br />
QuickTools is started, all events from the switch log will be displayed. If the Event<br />
Browser is disabled when QuickTools is started and later enabled, only those events<br />
from the time the Event Browser was enabled and forward will be displayed.<br />
To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event<br />
Browser, or click the Events button on the tool bar. If the Show Event Browser<br />
selection or the Events button is grayed-out, you must first enable the Events<br />
Browser preference. See ”Setting QuickTools preferences” on page 2-12.<br />
