Working with events

The Events node displays all events for the current management group. By default, the system displays
about 1,000 events, broken down into pages of 100 events. You can scroll through the current 100
events and use the << and >> buttons to display different pages. The dates in the From and To fields
in the toolbar reflect the date range of the displayed events.
For definitions of the event types and columns, see
You can do the following with events:
• Display new events

newest events.
