View Events

CA Performance Center displays events in a report that is called the Events view. The most recent events appear first. You can control the content of the events report to display the event data most relevant to you. Features that control the report contents include the time controls and the sort and filter features.

Examples:

Track Configuration Changes--When you do not select the Automatically Update Metric Families option on a custom monitoring profile, you must view the events log file for configuration changes and then manually click Update Metric Family in the Monitored Devices, Polled Metric Families view to help ensure that Data Aggregator picks up the device reconfiguration.
Troubleshoot Performance Issues--To troubleshoot performance issues with a specific server, you can filter the events by the IP address of the server. The Events view filters the complete list of events to display only events for the selected server.

To view events, click the Dashboards menu in CA Performance Center and select "Events Display" under Operations Displays.

The Events view opens. The table displays the events that occurred within the selected time frame, listing the most recent event first.

Note: For more information about events, see the CA Performance Center Operator Guide and the CA Performance Center online help.
