System Event Log

RAIDWatch's bottom window provides access to two viewpanels: Event View and Configuration View. The bottom window displays the Event Log viewpanel as default.

Event Log
The Event view displays the contents of a chronological log of all the events that occur during this session. System events can be categorized as follows:

* Subsystem component events (such as a power, fan, or drive failure)
* Administrative activities (configuring a logical drive, or performing Media Scan
* System alerts (temperature over thresholds or major component failures)

The Event Log viewpanel provides two handy tools for users to better organize and keep track of past events:

To toggle the system log reorganizing tools, Right click to display the command menu.

Output Eventlog as text file: This allows you to save a simple "text" record of past events onto your system drive.

Event Log Filter: This opens a configuration panel that allows you to reorganize the event list display.

The Filter panel allows you to organize and to sort events by its details. You may also deselect some unwanted events, select the level of severity of events to display, and narrow down the display list to those happened during a specific period of time.

The Columns panel allows you to select/deselect the event log display details. The details include:

* The event index
* The event severity
* The event type
* The time of occurrence
