Events appear in the lower right pane of the Console window.

The following table describes the information that appears in the columns for each event.

Table 1. NMC event information
Column	Description
Priority	Represents the relative severity of the problem by displaying one of seven icons.
Server Name	Identifies the host that caused the event to be generated.
Server Type	Identifies the type of server to which the event belongs. Server types include but are not limited to NetWorker and Data Domain.
Time	Indicates the day of the week and time that the Console server discovered the problem. The time which an event is reported is always based on the time zone of the Console server. For example: If a backup fails at 11:00 A.M. in New York, a Console server in Los Angeles reports the event as occurring at 8:00 A.M. The time format depends on the current locale setting. Start date and time formats provides more information.
Category	Classifies the source of the problem.
Message	Displays the text of the error message that generated the event.
Annotation	Displays an icon when an annotation has been made. An annotation provides a place to record comments that are associated with an event, and can accommodate more information than the Note column. Each annotation can be up to 12 KB. For example, use annotations to log steps that are taken to resolve an event. You can add multiple annotations to a single event, but you cannot edit or delete annotations. To add or view annotations, right-click the event and select Annotation.
Note	Provides an editable field for making brief administrative information that is associated with an event. For example: Name of the NetWorker administrator or operator that is assigned to the event. Letters or numbers that allow the sorting of events into a preferred order. To add, edit, or delete a note, double-click the cell in the Note column for the event. When you finish adding, editing, or deleting the note, click outside the cell. The maximum number of characters for a note is 30.
