<para>An event in Pandora is any unusual change happend in an agent.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
