Overview

The Status > Event Manager console displays messages—traps, logs, Windows events—forwarded from the Message Handler as well as test threshold violations. It provides features for acknowledging, suppressing and deleting events using a web interface. Events can be suppressed until a particular date and time, or until the state changes. The screen refreshes automatically every few minutes. This interval can be changed by setting the Summary Screen Refresh Interval on the Administration > Preferences page.

The Event Manager console displays in a separate tab or window. You can use it as a independent dashboard while you continue to work with other areas of the Traverse web application.

If the same device is added in multiple departments using the same IP address, each department receives separate copies of events related to that device. If a user in one department performs an action on the event, it does not affect the instances of the event in other departments. Administrators see all instances of events in departments for which they have read access.
