An event is any activity that takes place in the fabric that is of sufficient importance that it is stored in the event log. Events are the system’s way of informing you of what is happening. They may be vitally important, or they may not be important at all. The Fabric Manager identifies the event’s criticality, for example, Critical, Warning, Informational, and so on.
This section describes the typical way in which you will want to handle events. However, the system includes more functionality than is described here. For complete information, such as how to filter events, re-open events, and edit the event log retention period, see the ClearPath Forward Administration and Operations Guide.
