Subject: RE: [NV-L] Events Workspace
I didn't say you would get 100, I said you be passed 100. You would be
able to get up to 100, but that means often less. First, the events are
taken from the cache maintained by nvserverd. If he has gone down for any
reason, or has not been up long enough to get 100 events, then you will
only get what he has in his cache. These are current events since the
daemon was last started. Second, even if the last 100 events are sent to
the workspace, there may be some which do not pass the display criteria for
that window. If any do not pass the rule there, they will not be
displayed, and any which are defined as "Log Only" or "Ignore" ("Don't Log
or Display") in trapd.conf will also not be displayed. I hope this makes
sense. You can see the "Log Only" events in the trapd.log.
If you want to verify that all existing events were sent up to the last
100, then you would need to start the nvcorrd daemon trace in advance of
opening the workspace. You would do that with the nvcdebug -d <option>
command, using either "events" or "all" as the option. Then you would be
able to see in the nvcorrd.alog all the events as the priming occurred.
But that's pretty tedious. Otherwise you will just have to take my word
for it that this is how it works.
The bottom line is that if your operaor closes the event window after
starting the GUI, he may not have the same content even after an immediate
restart.

James,
I counted the events when opening NetView and only get 60 events to show.
How do I get to the 100. Thanks for your help!

No he cannot, unless the events he was looking at were in the last 100
received. When the new workspace is opened, it is primed with the last
hundred events. If these pass through the rule for that workspace, then
they will be displayed. Anything more than 100 events old does not appear
in the current events workspace.
If the event is older than that, the user can try opening Events History,
rather than simply Events, and look at the past events. But bear in mind
that these are recent past events. New events are constantly being added
to the ovevent.log (which has a max size of 2MB) and older ones scrolling
off. In most systems this file does not hold an event more than a couple
of hours. They are not kept for historical purposes. If you want to do
that, then you will have to be doing something with trapd.log rather than
using the GUI.

Subject: [NV-L] Events Workspace
Is there a way that after an X client closes out his session that he can
get
the prior critical or down events
to reappear in an event workspace. example:
1. User has a dynamic window open tracking critical events plus main event
window.
2. User drops his session.
3. User logs back on to NetView but the main event window does not include
the prior critical events in the list.
Thanks!
