System Events Reports

To search for and generate a report on firewall or Nortel VPN device syslog messages classified as system messages for selected log sources during a specified time interval, use the System Events Real-Time Report.

Menu path: Reports > Operational > System Events

In addition to setting the common report options in Preparing a Real-time Report, you can select optional filter operators in the generated report.

Optional filter operators can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Choose sort order using the drop-down menu. Optional filter operators are not visible if you select Boolean Search in the Search Filter criteria. By default, the following options are all selected.

For information on saving the generated report, see Formats for Saving a Generated Report.
