User's Guide
Events View
The Events view allows users to see what is happening in Abiquo. It is divided into two parts: on the right there is a list of all the events and errors that occurred in the system. In the left panel, there is a filter for selecting only certain events to view.

|
Event viewing can be restricted using privileges assigned to user roles. Users can have: no event privileges; the Display all events for the current enterprise privilege; or the Display all events privilege. Users with no event privileges will not see the Events icon or the Events window in the Home view.
The default Enterprise User and the default Enterprise Admin role have the Display all events generated for the current enterprise. The default Cloud Admin role has the Display all events privilege.
The Event List
The event list has 7 columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Source | Shows the system object that is the source of the event or error and its full hierarchy. For example, it could be a MACHINE MODIFY event, where the source is myMachine (the name of the machine) which is part of a rack named myRack which is part of a datacenter named myDatacenter which belongs to the Abiquo enterprise. |
| Date | The date and time when the event was generated. |
| Action | The action that was performed when the event was generated. |
| User | The user who performed the Action. |
| Trace | Additional information about the event. |
| Severity | The severity of the event. From INFO (information event) to CRITICAL (a critical error that compromises platform stability). |
There is also the Update automatically checkbox. If checked, new events will be automatically added to the list as they arrive. Otherwise, you must refresh the list manually.
Double-click on an event to see the event detail.
Filtering Events
To make it easier to find a specific event, use the filter tool in the left panel of Events view. You can search for events related to a datacenter, a user, an enterprise, etc. One or more fields can be used for filtering at the same time, which increases the power of the filtering tool to help you keep up to date with what is happening in the system.
Use 
button to start a new search and the 
button to clear all text fields.
