The Event Browser is opened from the Cisco EMF Launchpad. A window similar to Figure 6-1 is displayed. Services can be invoked on events so faults can be attended to from the window that shows the event. Note You can also view events on Cisco EMF maps, however, only the most severe fault on a managed object is shown on the map icon. More than one Event Browser session can be open to a user at any one time, if they have different queries specified.
All users can see any event.
In the Event Browser window, you can acknowledge that a particular event is one that you are going to deal with and all other users will see that the event is being handled. When the event is cleared, it is shown in the Event Browser window, so other users know that the event requires no further attention. At this stage, no one has taken responsibility to deal with it. You may not want to receive all events on the system, so a query can be set up using the Cisco EMF Query Editor to view specific events. The Event Browser application is launched using the icon in the Cisco EMF Launchpad window.
