Events
Various events are tracked within N|Solid for each process, tracking lifecycle, security, resource issues and more. The Events section of the N|Solid UI provides a query tool to browse these events to look for patterns or other clues to potential issues. Just like every other section of the N|Solid UI, the results are initially filtered by the global Filter Bar and Date Range.
The top portion contains a summary that can be expanded:
There are a variety of event types to track. These tables are provided to decode the Event names:
