</div>
<p>When you have specified the actions that you want to take when a threshold
value is reached, you are ready to specify when to apply the thresholds and
actions you have selected.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">How to read the event log</h4><p>The Event log window displays
a list of threshold trigger and reset events for all of your monitors. You
can specify on the Monitor Properties - Actions page for each monitor whether
you want events added to the Event Log. To see the Properties pages for any
monitor, select the monitor in the Monitors list and then select Properties
from the File menu.</p>
<p>The list of events is arranged in order by date
and time by default, but you can change the order by clicking on any column
heading. For example, to sort the list by the endpoint system where the event
occurred, click System.</p>
<p>An icon to the left of each event
indicates the type of event:</p>

</div>
<p>You can customize the list of events to include only those that
meet specific criteria by selecting <span class="uicontrol">Options</span> from the
menu bar and then selecting <span class="uicontrol">Include</span>.</p>
<p>You can
specify which columns of information you want to display in the list and the
order in which you want the columns to be displayed by selecting <span class="uicontrol">Options</span> from
the menu bar and then selecting <span class="uicontrol">Columns</span>.</p>
<p>You
can view the properties of an event to get more information about what triggered
the event log entry.</p>
<p>You can have more than one Event Log window open
at the same time, and you can work with other windows while the Event Log
windows are open. Event Log windows are updated continuously as events occur.</p>
