Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm
thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to

Displaying Events using the Event Browser
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 provides an Event Browser, which displays events
from the switch event log and events that are generated by Enterprise Fabric
Suite 2007 itself. The Event Browser formats events by severity, timestamp,
source, type, and description. Events read from the switch event log obtain the
timestamp from the switch clock, while events generated by Enterprise Fabric
Suite 2007 use the workstation clock.

The Event Browser can maintain a maximum of 1500 events. Once the maximum
is reached, the oldest events are discarded and replaced with new events. To
display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event
Browser, or click the Events button on the tool bar. When you close Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007, all events in the Event Browser are lost. To save events to file
before closing Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the File menu from the Event
Browser window and select Save As. For more information about the Event
Browser, refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch.
