6. Using the Event Monitor
BasicsAfter starting Event Monitor and establishing the connection to RAID systems, the Event window appears on the screen. All the events recorded since the Primary agent is installed will be displayed within. The Primary agent will maintain an event log file saving up to 1024 records of event.When a RAID system is connected, the Navigation panel in the upper left quadrant of the window will display icons for the controller, Physical View, and Logical Unit View of system components. The large Contents panel to the right will display a list of all the recorded events.
- The Connect View window includes a Navigation Panel.
- The Navigation Panel provides a tree organization display of logical and physical elements managed by different controllers. Unlike RAIDWatch, the panel can simultaneously display status of multiple controllers.
- The Event List displays all the event messages preserved in a Primary agent log file. Restarting Event Monitor or resetting controller will not affect the event list.
- The status bar displays the connection status.
- The functional menu bar includes Connect and About.
- The menu bar displays the available menus. All menus provide a list of commands for invoking various operations. The Connect menu allows you to Open, Close, switch to RAIDWatch Manager, and Exit the program.
- The About menu displays software version and copyright information. It also provides access to Help files. Each of these commands will be discussed below.
- The Open command allows you to connect to a Primary Agent server.
- The Close command allows you to terminate the connection to a Primary Agent server. Before executing this command, select the Primary agent IP address you want to disconnect on the navigation panel. The selected item will be highlighted.
- The RAIDWatch command allows you to start RAIDWatch Manager and configure the selected RAID system.
- The Exit command is used to end the current Event Monitor session.
