Viewing Server Switch Events
When you configure your local host to receive server switch events, you can then view a log of the events. Before you view server switch events, see the "Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver" section.
To view server switch events on a host that you have configured to receive events, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Event Viewer.
The Event Viewer window opens. Table 6-5 describes the fields in the window.
Step 2 (Optional) Click the Node column header to organize the Event Viewer table by node. Click the header a second time to reverse the order (from top to bottom) of the display.
Step 3 (Optional) Click the Time column header to organize the Event Viewer table by node. Click the header a second time to reverse the order (from top to bottom) of the display.
Step 4 (Optional) Click the Type column header to organize the Event Viewer table by node. Click the header a second time to reverse the order (from top to bottom) of the display.
Step 5 (Optional) Click the Description column header to organize the Event Viewer table by node. Click the header a second time to reverse the order (from top to bottom) of the display.

The Event Viewer window opens.
Step 2 Click Export.
The Save window opens.
Step 3 Navigate to the directory on your local host on which you want to store the event log.
Step 4 In the File Name field, enter a filename for the log, and then click Save.
Element Manager creates a text file with the contents of the event log on your host.
Clearing Event Entries by Category
To clear event entries from the Event Viewer table, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Event Viewer.
The Event Viewer window opens.
Step 2 Click Clear, and then click the type of entry that you want to remove from the table.
All entries of that type disappear from the display.

To clear all event entries from the Event Viewer table, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Event Viewer.
The Event Viewer window opens.
Step 2 Click Clear, and then click All.
All event entries disappear from the display.
Configuring Trap Receivers
These topics describe how to configure your host as a trap receiver:
•Verifying Your Host as a Trap Receiver
•Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver
•Deleting Your Host as a Trap Receiver
Verifying Your Host as a Trap Receiver
You must configure your host to receive traps in order to view events. If no other application on your local host controls port 162, Element Manager automatically registers your local host as a trap receiver. To verify that Element Manager registered your host, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Trap Receivers.
The Trap Receivers window opens.
Step 2 Verify that the IP address of your host appears in the Address column.
Step 3 If it appears, verify that true appears in the Receive Events column.
Note If your local host has multiple IP addresses (for instance, one from a LAN and one from a wireless connection), disable all IP addresses other than the LAN address, and then close Element Manager and open it again. Verify that only the LAN address appears in the Trap Receivers window. If it appears, you can enable your other addresses.
Configuring Your Host as a Trap Receiver
If you have an application (other than Element Manager) that takes over port 162 to receive and manage SNMP traps, you must add your host to the server switch configuration with Element Manager so that the application receives server switch traps. To add your host as a trap receiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Trap Receivers.
The Trap Receivers window opens.
Step 2 Click Insert.
The Insert Trap Receivers window opens.
Step 3 In the Address field, enter the IP address of your host.
Step 4 In the Community field, enter the SNMP community of your host.
Step 5 Check the Receive Events check box, and then click Insert.
Deleting Your Host as a Trap Receiver
If you manually configured your host as a trap receiver, you must manually remove your host to deregister. To delete your host as a trap receiver, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Trap Receivers.
The Trap Receivers window opens.
Step 2 Click your host in the Trap Receivers table, and then click Delete.
Step 3 Click Close.
Viewing Authentication Failures and Enabling Authentication Traps
These topics describe how to view authentication failures and enable authentication traps:
•Viewing Authentication Failures

Applying Filters to ts_log Displays
When you configure and apply filters, Element Manager removes from the display all entries that do not match the filter criteria. To filter particular entries from log displays, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Health menu, choose Log Viewer.
The Log Viewer window opens.
Step 2 Open a ts_log file. For detailed instructions, see the "Viewing and Filtering Logs" section.
Step 3 Click Filter.
The Log Filter window opens.

•All filter options are cumulative. If you choose slot 1 and WARN, the log viewer displays only logs that apply to slot 1 and are of the WARN type. Any WARN type messages that do not apply to slot 1 do not appear. Any slot 1 messages of other types do not appear.
•Click Show Advanced to reveal application options that you can add to the filter. Click an application to apply it to the filter. Press the Ctrl key, and click additional applications to apply multiple applications to the filter.
Step 5 Click Apply.
All entries that do not match the filter disappear from the display.
