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.

|
|
system, and can be viewed by clicking the "View Events"
|

option in the Operation menu. The newest events are placed
