7.5.3 Working With Results
After processing, the results of analysis are shown on the tabs in the display frame (Figure 7–22).
Figure 7–22 Additional Entries Navigation
When there are many entries, you can use the navigation options to page through the results.
- Use the Previous and Next links to move between entry screens.
- Enter a number in the entry field and Click Go to display a specific entry.
You can control the number of entries shown in a tab with the options in the User Settings window. See Section 7.9.1 for more details.
7.5.3.1 Problem Reports
The Problem Reports tab displays a list of the reports that were generated by analysis. An example of the problem report list is shown in Figure 7–23.
Figure 7–23 Problem Report TabThe filters used when generating the problem reports are listed at the top of the screen. However, the display only shows the filters that apply to problem reports and may not list all the filters you selected.
When working with problem reports, these options are available:
- To sort the entries in the report list select the column headers. See Section 7.5.3.5 for more details on sorting.
- To view the contents of a report, Click on its entry in the list of available problem reports. See Section 7.5.3.6 for information on viewing reports.
The problem reports generated by the web interface are the same as those generated by the CLI.
- See Chapter 8 for more information on analysis.
- See Appendix for an example of a problem report.
7.5.3.2 Summary
The Summary tab is only available when you perform manual analysis. If you select Real Time Monitoring from the Navigation Tree, for example, the Summary tab is not displayed.
When performing manual analysis, the Summary tab describes the event types contained in the binary event log file (Figure 7–24).
Figure 7–24 Summary TabEach event type is listed along with the number of occurrences. The time stamps for the first and last events are listed under the summary information.
The filters that were applied are listed at the top of the screen. Be aware that the screen only shows the filters that apply to the summary report and may not list all the filters you selected.
See Section 8.8 for details on the summary information presented.
7.5.3.3 Sub Type Tallied Summaries and Event Listings
Certain types of events have subtypes which can be further summarized and listed by Sub Type. As of the WEBES 4.5 release, binary events of type 199 (CAM events) and 14009 (Enterprise Virtual Array events) display this feature.
The Sub Type Tallied Summaries screen shows you the list of Sub Type events. The events have been classified based on the nature of the event. As of the WEBES 4.5 release, there is no color classification for the Sub Type events of event type 199 (CAM events). All the Sub Type events of event type 199 will appear in grey color. The colors of the event description signify the following about their nature.
To view the Sub Type event summary information, select the summary tab in the Web interface for any binary event log. This will show you the classification of the event types. If the event summary has event type 14009 or 199, Click 14009 link or 199 link to view the Sub Type event summary.
Following screen shows the summary of Sub Type event 14009:
Figure 7–25 Summary of Sub-Types
To view the Sub Type listing information, Click Sub-Type Listing link shown in the above screen. The following screen shows the listing of all the Sub Type events of event type 14009:
Figure 7–26 Sub-Type Listing7.5.3.4 Events
The Events tab shows a list of the events contained in the binary event log file. Depending on the filtering options that were applied during processing, all the events in the log file may or may not be shown (Figure 7–27).
You can control the fields that are shown on the events tab from the User Settings window. See Section 7.9.1 for more details.
Figure 7–27 Events TabThe filters that affected the output are listed at the top of the screen. Be aware that the screen only shows the filters that apply to events and may not list all the filters you applied.
When working with events, these options are available:
- To sort the events list, use the column headers. See Section 7.5.3.5 for more details on sorting.
- To view the translation of an event, Click on its entry in the list. See Section 7.5.3.6 for information on viewing translation details.
The translated events shown by the Web interface are the same as those shown by the CLI.
- See Chapter 8 for more information on event translation
- See Appendix for an example of a translated event.
7.5.3.5 Sorting Results
You can sort the results of analysis using either the column headings on the tabs in the display frame, or by using a filter.
- Sorting with the column headings only impacts the entries currently shown. Therefore, if there are too many entries to be listed on a tab, the column headings will only sort the entries that are displayed rather than all the output produced by processing the log file. In most cases, this limitation only impacts the Events tab.
- You can sort the results shown on any tab using the field names that appear in blue (i.e., as hypertext links). Simply Click on the field name to sort based on that field. An arrow appears next to the field to indicate the direction of the sorting. The sorting options are applied to all the tabs, regardless of which tab was used to specify the sorting criteria.
- Entries can be sorted in either ascending or descending order. To change the sort order, Click on the field name a second time. The arrow next to the field changes direction to indicate the new sort order. When the arrow is pointing up, it indicates an ascending sort. When the arrow is pointing down, it indicates a descending sort.
- If you are working in multiple windows, sorting only applies to the current window.
- Using a filter to sort entries impacts all the output generated by processing a log file, regardless of how many screens are required to show all the entries.
- For more information on using a filter to sort output, see the information on applying filters in Section 7.8.
7.5.3.6 Displaying Details
The Problem Reports tab lists the reports generated by analysis and the Events tab lists the events in the binary log. You can view the details of a problem report or the translated text of an event by Clicking on an entry in the list. Depending on the User Settings selected (see Section 7.9.1), the details will either be shown in the display window or in a new browser window.
In order to make viewing details easier, navigation buttons are available at the top of each detailed entry. The navigation buttons for the Problem Reports tab and Events Tab are shown in Figures 7–28 and 7–29.
Figure 7–28 Navigation Buttons—Problem Reports
Figure 7–29 Navigation Buttons—Events
The buttons are used to move between entries in the list.
- When paging between entries, the column heading sort order always reverts back to the Index column in ascending order. Filter sorts, however, still apply.
- If you select "Put Event Details In A New Window" in your User Settings, the Index button is not available. Clicking the Previous and Next buttons displays all entries in the new window. See Section 7.9.1 for more information on user settings.
- The Event Details tab includes a drop down list that can be used to change the report type. See Chapter 8 for more information on translation report types.
