Creating table views


You can configure the Events page to display specific details about all events. Use table views to configure the event details that you want to see on the Events page. You can add or remove columns according to the level of details that you want to see from the table views.

Use the Monitoring > Events > Table Views page to view and manage table views.

As an administrator, you can create global table views, which become available for all users in the system. As an operator, you can create table views that only you can use.

You can also associate table views to groups. When you view events on the Group Details page, the event details appear according to the table view that you associated with the group. To know how to associate table views with groups, see Setting up groups. For information about the Group Details page, see Groups page overview.

If you delete a table view that is associated with a group, the default table view is automatically associated with the group.
