Display/Delete Event Log

Overview

This function displays the event history of the storage system.

The event log is one of the internal logs stored in the storage system. The event log contains a history of events that are related to configuration information changes, such as module failures and volume creation.

Up to 400 per CM event logs can be displayed. If the number of event logs exceeds the maximum number, the oldest event log is overwritten. The recorded "Error" level event logs and "Warning" level event logs can be exported. In addition, all the event logs that are no longer required can be deleted.

Caution

  • Even after deleting the event log using this function, the maintenance information log remains stored in the storage system. Use the [Export/Delete Log] function to delete the maintenance information logs of the storage system.

Note

  • Note that "Information" level event logs cannot be exported.

  • Event logs ("Error" and "Warning" level) can also be exported on the [Overview] screen. Refer to the [Overview] function for details.

  • All event logs are deleted in a single operation.
