to prevent them from being generated in future. See "Disabling and
Enabling Events" on page 349 for more information on this.
If you have marked an event for deletion and later decide that you do not
wish to delete it then, providing the event ageing process has not yet
deleted it, you may clear the deletion mark by selecting the event and
then selecting Edit > Undelete. Depending upon the current filter
configuration in the Event list, you may need to adjust the filter before
you can view and select events marked for deletion. See "Filter Dialog
Box" on page 339 for more information on how to do this.
Similarly, you can clear the deletion mark for multiple events in one
operation by first selecting all the events you wish to clear the deletion
mark for and then selecting Edit > Undelete.
You can only clear the deletion mark for an event if the event ageing
process has not yet removed the event from the database. Once the
event ageing process has removed the event from the database it is
unrecoverable.
See "Managing Event Ageing" on page 361 for more information on
how the event ageing process decides which events to remove from the
database.
Refreshing the Events The Events window is automatically kept up-to-date. When new events
List are logged that match the filter configured for the window, the event is
automatically added to the list. As a result it is not normally necessary to
manually refresh the Events list.
However, if you have a large number of events in the events database
then the initial population of the table when you launch the Events
window, or subsequent re-populations after you change the filter may
take some time. If this operation is taking too long then you may wish to
stop the operation before it is completed, possibly in order that you may
change the filter to reduce the number of events that will be viewed.
To stop an update while it is in progress select View > Stop.
After stopping an update the Events list may not contain all of the events
from the events database that match the filter, as it will only contain
those events that had been processed before View > Stop was selected.
