Displaying the Event Browser
The Event Browser displays a list of events generated by the switches in the fabric 
and the SANsurfer Switch Manager application. Events that are generated by the 
SANsurfer Switch Manager application are not saved on the switch, but can be 
saved to a file during the SANsurfer Switch Manager session. 
Entries in the Event Browser shown in 
, are formatted by severity, time 
stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in 
the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch 
is 1200. Once the maximum is reached, the event list wraps and the oldest events 
are discarded and replaced with the new events. Event entries from the switch, 
use the switch time stamp, while event entries generated by the application have 
a workstation time stamp. You can filter, sort, and export the contents of the Event 
Browser to a file. The Event Browser begins recording when enabled and 
SANsurfer Switch Manager is running. 
If the Event Browser is enabled using the Preferences dialog, the next time 
SANsurfer Switch Manager is started all events from the switch log will be 
displayed. If the Event Browser is disabled when SANsurfer Switch Manager is 
started and later enabled, only those events from the time the Event Browser was 
enabled and forward will be displayed. 
To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event 
Browser
, or click the Events button on the tool bar. If the Show Event Browser 
selection or the Events button is grayed-out, you must first enable the Events 
Browser
 preference. Refer to
