Event Severity Colors; Event Resolution - 3Com 3C15500 - Network Director User Manual

Event Resolution

Director logs a single event and updates it with details of the number of
times the condition that led to the event has occurred.
For example, a Security Violation event logged with recurring severity may
indicate that someone is trying to crack user passwords on your network,
alternatively, it may indicate that a user has forgotten their password and
is repeatedly trying to log in.

Event Severity Colors

Each level of event severity has a color associated with it that is used
within the list in the Events window for easy identification as shown in
the following table:
Table 51 Event List Color Coding Key
Any logged event that represents an abnormal network condition is
initially logged as an unresolved event to indicate that the condition that
led to the event being generated is, as far as 3Com Network Director can
deduce, still occurring. Unresolved events allow you to see the
outstanding abnormal network conditions that may be affecting your
users, and so can help you determine how to prioritize any actions you
may need to take on your network.
When the condition that led to the original event being logged is later
determined to have returned to normal the event is marked as resolved.
Resolved events allow you to see historical occurrences in your network,
which can help your awareness of problems that arise on a regular basis
and allow you to see emerging patterns of network behavior. You may
use this information to help you determine what action you need to take
to prevent these problems from occurring in future, and so improve the
reliability and performance of your network.
Information severity events are not logged as either unresolved or
resolved events, as they do not represent an abnormal network condition,
therefore there is nothing to resolve.
