12.6 Using the Event Monitor
After 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.
12.6.1 Display Controls
Just like Altos RAIDWatch Manager, Event Monitor works entirely with windows, buttons, and icons
to facilitate the display of various disk array conditions. These windows follow the standard
Windows and Unix OS "Look and Feel" specifications, thus steps for manipulating elements and
windows within any Event Monitor window generally conform to standard procedures.
12.6.2 Basics
Figure 12–7 shows a general layout of the Event Monitor. 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.
