An event in Pandora is any unusual change happend in an agent.
An event is registered when an agent is down or starts up, when a monitor fails or changes its status, or when an alarm is sent.
An event is usually preceded by an issue with the system being monitored. A validation and deletion system has been created to avoid leaving unanalised issues, so they can be easily validated or deleted if the problem can be ignored or it's been already solved.
The events appear ordered chronologically as they enter the system, and can be viewed by clicking the "View Events" option in the Operation menu. The newer events are placed at the top of the table.
The event information list shows the data in the following columns:
Status: The event status is represented by the icon bellow:
The event has been validated
The event hasn't been validated
Event name: Name assigned to the event by Pandora.
Agent name: Agent where the event happend.
Group name: Group of the agent where the event has happened.
User ID: User that validated the event.
Timestamp: Date and time when the event was raised or validated- if it has been validated.
Action: Action that can be executed over the event.
This icon will validate the event, disappearing the icon

The events can be also validated or deleted in groups by selecting the tick boxes on the last column of the event, and pressing "Validate" or "Delete" at the bottom of the list.
Three different kinds of graphical statistic representation can be choosen from the "View Events">"Statistics" option in the Operation menu:
