GettingtheBigPicture·Chapter16 383 tells you how long it has been running. The panes in the top middle and top right of the console display the status of the Syslog server and the database server, respectively. The pane in the middle of the left portion of the console window shows you the distribution of events across your network. In this particular case, all the events are Windows events, but that's only because I'm not actually tracking W3C, SQL Server, or any other types of events. The pane in the screen's lower-left portion shows the events that have occurred based on their classifications. This gives you an easy way of seeing which percentage of events occurring on your network is critical or of high importance. The large pane in the lower-right portion of the console shows the systems being monitored, and the number of events that have been logged on each.You may notice that some of the servers have zero events logged in the figure. The reason for this is that I intentionally powered down a few machines because I wanted to see how GFI EventsManager would react to servers that were unavailable. Job Activity If you click the Job Activity link at the top of the screen, you'll see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 16.2. The basic idea behind this screen is that events are not collected in real time. Instead, GFI EventsManager queues jobs to collect the most recent events from the target machines. The Job Activity screen lets you see which jobs are in the queue, and which jobs are currently active. Figure 16.2 The Job Activity Screen Lets You Monitor the Log Collection Process
