3.5.6 Using the Event Log WindowThe Event Log window displays controller and array events since the last time RAIDWatch Manager was started. The Event Log can be accessed through either the Event Log command button on the tool bar or under the Open menu. If you need to read event logs recorded before RAIDWatch is started, consult your Event Monitor.
Event Log items include critical alerts, warnings, and notifications regarding the RAID controller; drives status; logical device status; and enclosure elements like power supplies, fan, and temperature. Events are not always failures. Some events, such as controller setting changes, are displayed for information purposes.
When events occur, RAIDWatch will display a waving red flag command button on the tool bar:
![]()
Clicking on the red flag button will open the Event Log window. Event Log entries include the time of occurrence and a description of what event took place.
