An event is any action that is of interest to VirtualCenter. Each event triggers an event message. All event messages are archived in the VirtualCenter database. Event messages appear in two locations:

• Events option in the navigation bar — Displays all events that have occurred on the VirtualCenter management server.
• Events tab for farms, hosts, and virtual machines under the Inventory option — List the events that occurred on or to the selected farm, host, or virtual machine.

  

  Navigation Bar > Events Button

Events activities include:

• Sorting the list of event messages.
• Viewing the event details for a selected message.
• Linking to the Events tab for an object in an Event Detail message.
• Exporting events to a text file. The exported data can be a set of messages selected by time, date, and type.

For more information on events, refer to the chapter, Working with Alarms and Events. The table below lists the possible attributes that can be displayed in an Events panel list.
