SANWatch's lower half window provides access to two viewpanels: Event Log List and Configuration List. The bottom window defaults to the Event LogList viewpanel.

Event Log List
The event log list displays the contents of a chronological log of all the events that occur during this session. System events can be categorized as follows:

* Subsystem component events (such as a power supply unit, cooling module, or drive failure)
* Administrative activities (such as that of configuring a logical drive, or performing Media Scan)
* System alerts (such as that of disk drive failure, temperature threshold violated, or major component failures)

When a new event occurs, the severity of the new event will flash. When user sees a flashing icon should check the system status according to the new event description.

The Event Log viewpanel provides two handy tools for users to better organize and keep track of past events:

To toggle the system log reorganizing tools, Right-click to display the command menu.

Export All Logs to a Text File: This allows you to save a simple "text" record of past events onto your system drive.

Export all logs and configuration data to a zip file: you can save a copy of all configuration profile and event logs as a zip file to your system drive .

Event Log Filter Option: This opens a configuration panel that allows you to reorganize the event list display.

The Filter panel allows you to organize and to sort events by its details. You may also deselect some unwanted events, select the level of the severity of events to display, and narrow down the display list to those happened during a specific period of time.

The Columns panel allows you to select/deselect the event log display details. The details include:
* The event index
* The event severity
* The event type
* The time of occurrence

Event Log Clear Option: Through here you can select to Clear All Logs or Clear Logs Preceding Index X, where "X" is the event you selected by a left-click.

Please be careful when deleting the existing events. Once deleted, they cannot be retrieved unless you have previously saved the event list.
