Event Management

- Hide certain alerts from the list by using Acknowledge option. This might be useful if you don’t want to be distracted by the accidental warning or “expected” error.
- Explore details about selected events. Refer to the details pane in the bottom of the screen for more details and statistics.
- Export selected events into comma-separated values (CSV) file for analytics or archival purposes.

Searching

TIP: Add * to the end of the search query to match all items starting with the search term. Otherwise, you will only get the exact matches. For example, john* returns John Doe, Johnson Smith, and john.doe. Search expressions are case-insensitive. |
Advanced Search
You can refine your results by using the advanced search operators. Refer to Lucene Tutorial for the full information on search syntax.
