The Events widget in the Dashboard section displays general information about the events and incidents that have the most recent values for the date and time of last occurrence.

The widget displays the following elements:

• Histogram of events and incidents for the selected period. This data is displayed in the upper part of the widget. The histogram shows the distribution of events and incidents based on their severity levels.
• List containing information about registered events and incidents sorted by date and time of last occurrence. This data is displayed in the middle part of the widget.

Statistics of events and incidents

On the histogram showing the distribution of events and incidents, the columns correspond to the total number of events for each time interval. Within columns, the severity of events and incidents are distinguished by color. The following colors correspond to severity levels:

• Blue. This color is used for events and incidents with the Informational severity level.
• Yellow. This color is used for events and incidents with the Warning severity level.
• Red. This color is used for events and incidents with the Critical severity level.

To display information about a column of the histogram, move the mouse cursor over it. A pop-up window shows the date and time of the interval as well as the number of events and incidents by severity level.

The duration of time intervals depends on the selected display period. The following periods are available for building a histogram:

• 1 hour. This period is divided into one-minute intervals.
• 12 hours, 24 hours. These periods are divided into one-hour intervals.
• 7 days. This period is divided into one-day intervals.

List of events and incidents

The list of events and incidents in the Events widget is updated in online mode. Events and incidents with the most recent values for the date and time of last occurrence are placed at the beginning of the list.

The following information is provided for each event or incident in the list:

• Title of the event or incident.
• Date and time of last occurrence.
• Icon designating the severity level of an event or incident: Informational, Warning, or Critical.

Incidents in the list are marked with the icon.

Navigating to other sections from the Events widget

You can use elements of the Events widget interface to go to the events table and display detailed information about events and incidents. To do so, you can utilize the following options:

• Go to the events table and filter the table

  You can view detailed information about an event or incident by clicking the relevant event or incident in the Events widget list. Doing so will open the Events section in which the table will be filtered based on the ID of the selected event or incident. The period ranging from the date and time of registration of the event or incident to the current moment (without indicating an end boundary for the period) will also be defined for the filter.

  If you want to proceed to the events table without changing the current table filter settings in the Events section, click the Show all events link in the Events widget.

• Go to the events table and search the table
  1. In the Events widget, enter your search query into the Event search field.
  2. Click the Search button.

  The Events section opens. The events table displays the events and incidents that meet the search criteria.
