Searching events

Using Find Events Search.gif, available in the toolbar panel located above the event list, you can narrow the scope and number of events displayed. The search functionality is available for event collectors only. Search is performed only on those slots of a CORE_EVENT class that are visible to you in the event list at that instance. Search is case-sensitive and considers blank spaces. Therefore, you must enter the exact search criteria to retrieve results.

Warning

Search is ineffective in the following cases:

  • If the search is based on the date slot 
  • If you select a component folder in the navigation tree 
  • If you select an event folder (All Event Collectors, All Abnormalities, or any user-defined event folder) in the navigation tree 
  • If the search query contains the following characters:
    • Left square parenthesis([) 
    • Right square parenthesis (]) 
    • Backward slash (\) 
    • Single quotes (') 
    • Single character

To find an event

  1. From the navigation tree, select an event collector.
  2. In the search box, type a query to search.
  3. Click Find Events.

 

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
