Viewing Events

The Events list shows a running list of all VMware Live Cyber Recovery events that occur in the system, both system-generated events and user actions.

You can filter the Events list by:

• Event category, such as user operations ("Audit"), protection group and snapshot operations ("Protection"), protected site events ("Site"), recovery plan failovers, recovery SDDC events, and more.
• Event severity such as Info, Warning, Error, Emergency.
• Event duration, such as Today, Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, or any specific time frame you select.

Note: The event category filters and severity filters are mutually exclusive. When you filter by event category, you cannot also filter by severity. Conversely, if you filter by event severity, you cannot also filter by event category. You can however, combine the timestamp filter with either category filters or severity filters.

You can also filter the events list page results further by text strings. This search filters the currently displayed list of events in the UI based on the entered text:

The Events list shows a maximum of 100 events at first viewing. To view more events, click the Load more button at the bottom of the page.

Event Details

When you select an event, a details panel opens to show more information about the event, such as event severity, timestamp, target system (replication or failover tasks), and description. For a snapshot task, the panel provides details about the protection group name, snapshot name, and VMs included in the snapshot. Some events, such as snapshot tasks, generate a log when completed, which you can access by clicking the Snapshot log button in the panel below the events.

Event Types

Events are grouped by the following types:

Event Type	Description
Audit	Events that capture user actions, such as configuration changes and recovery plan executions. Includes the event name, the user who performed it, and the source IP address where the event was initiated.
Site	Events related to sites, such as adding or removing a protected site, downloading a Cyber Recovery connector VM, registering vCenter.
Recovery SDDC	Events related to a recovery SDDC, such as deploying or deleting a recovery SDDC, adding or removing a network, and more.
Failover	Events related to recovery plan operations, such as a recovery or failback operation, acknowledging and committing a plan, deleting a plan, and more.
Protection	Events related to protection groups, such as creating or deleting protection groups, snapshots, and more.
Other	Miscellaneous events, such as space reclamation tasks, user notifications for alert recipients, and more.

Event Severities

You can filter by the event severities listed in the following table:

Severity	Description
Info	Descriptive information about an operation or state of the system, including information that might be useful.
Warning	Indicates a situation that requires attention. A warning condition does not affect system operation.
Error	Indicates that an operation failed or that there was a hardware error. An error condition does not affect continued system operation.
Emergency	Indicates that a fatal event occurred. A fatal event affects continued system operation.

Event Timestamps

You can restrict the events displayed by timestamp, which allows you to set a specific time or time duration by which to filter events.

You can use the event timestamp filter when you want to see recent events, old events, or events that occurred during a specific time period.

You can select 'quick select' times, or use the Since and Up to calendar selectors to specify a time frame by which to filter the events.
