6.3 Viewing a Generated Event

When an enabled event has occurred, an audit event is generated.

After an audit event is generated, you can access the details of the event from the following locations:

  • Dashboard: You can view the audit data through the ZENworks Control Center Dashboard. The Dashboard has the following tabs:

    • Dashboard: From this tab you can see a summary of the audit events that have occurred in the zone. You can see key indicators about top events and impacted objects, and can drill into the event log view in a filtered manner. By default, this dashboard shows you an overview of events in the last 4 hours. If you want to see more data, you can change the time period.

    • Events (Audit Log): This tab enables you to view all of the events that have occurred in the zone. The information is displayed in a format similar to the Events Configuration page. A count is displayed against those categories for which an event has been generated. For example, if a Bundle Assignment Management event has been generated, 1 is displayed against the Bundle Assignment Management category in the tree structure. When you click the event, the details of the event are displayed in the right pane.

  • (Change Events) Object Folders: The Audit tab in the object folders (Devices, Bundles, Polices and Users) enables you to view the audit events that are generated for all objects within the selected folder. For example, you can view the events generated for all bundles within a bundles folder. Hence, all bundle-related events can be viewed in the Bundles folder. The information is categorized similar to the Events Configuration page. You can browse through events that have occurred, and if you need more information, you can click the event to view the event details.

  • (Change Events) Objects: You can also view the audit events for an object within the object folder. For example, if you select a particular bundle within a bundles folder, you can view the events generated for that specific bundle.

  • (Agent Events) Devices Folder: The Audit tab in the Devices folder enables you to view the events that are generated for a particular device (server or workstation).
