Chapter 66 Viewing Events
Using Event Viewer
Examining Details of a Single Event
Each event contains a lot of specific information in many separate fields. Typically, you display a subset
of these fields in the event table. When you want to see the complete details of an event, you can use
either of the following:
• Event Details pane—Select the event and open the Event Details pane below the event table. You
can open the pane by clicking anywhere in the “Event Details” title row, or you can select View >
Show Event Details from the menu. The Event Details pane organizes the information in tabs. For
more information about this pane, see Event Details Pane, page 66-24.
• Event Details dialog box—You can open this dialog box by double-clicking the event, or by
right-clicking the event and selecting Show All Details. The information is presented as a flat list
and shows the information that would be shown on the Details tab in the Event Details pane. For
information on the meaning of the attributes, see Columns in Event Table, page 66-16.
The Event Details dialog box includes the following controls:
–
Print button—Click this button to print the information. You are prompted to select a printer.
Copy commands You can use the following commands to copy event data to the
clipboard. You can then paste the data into a spreadsheet or other
program for your use. For more information, see Copying Event
Records, page 66-48.
• Copy Cell—Copies the contents of the cell you right-click to the
clipboard.
• Copy Selected Events—Copies the contents of all selected
(high-lighted) events to the clipboard.
• Copy All Events—Copies the contents of all listed events to the
clipboard.
This command is useful only if you have filtered the event table to
a manageable number of events.
