Events

An event is a notification that something happened in the system. An event happens at a single point in time and has a single timestamp. An event may be unique or be part of a series.

Each event message is associated with a severity level. The severity indicates the risk (if any) to the system, in relation to the changes that generated the event message.

PowerFlex Manager stores up to 3 million events or events that are up to 13 months old. Once this threshold is exceeded, PowerFlex Manager automatically purges the events to free up space. The threshold is reviewed daily.
NOTE:An event is published each day that lists the events which have been removed that day.

Events severity level

The severity levels are as follows:

Major An error alarm raised by the system. This error requires your attention. The system is stable but could be degraded. The device failed.
