Viewing and Managing Events Diagnostics

This article describes how to view and filter event logs for notifications. Admins subscribe to events to receive email notifications from the Admin Portal. After an event is triggered, admins receive alerts of these notifications via email. To learn more, see About Notifications. The Events Diagnostics page displays these notifications.

Accessing Events Diagnostics

To access diagnostics for events:

  1. Go to Diagnostics.
  2. Under Log Type, select Events.

By default, the information for all events is displayed for notifications that occurred in the last 24 hours. To change the time range, click the Calendar drop-down menu. In the Calendar drop-down, you can select a preset range or specify a custom start and end date. If you use a Custom Range, the start date must be within the last 14 days. To change the time zone, click the current Time Zone icon. To refresh the diagnostics page, click the Refresh icon.

Dashboard data may be more recent than the data presented within Diagnostics.

By default, the table displays the Total number of events. To change this, select one of the following filters:

  • High Priority: The number of high priority events.
  • Medium Priority: The number of medium priority events.
  • Low Priority: The number of low priority events.
