Custom Sentinel Event Views

With custom event views, you are able to view events based on the Explorer hierarchies.

Event views display assets (event view assets) that:

• Are monitored in Sentinel
• Belong to the selected hierarchy
• Are from the selected starting point
• Occur in the selected template

There are four types of custom event view that you can create in Sentinel. All of the views relate to events for the event view assets.

Privileges: Users who can view a workspace, can view any of the event views in the workspace. 

Note: Only events that have been raised by Sentinel may be viewed in the custom event view reports.

Event Report

The Event Report shows all events, for the selected date/time period, in an events grid, for the event view assets from the selected hierarchy and starting point. The report can be selected for all workspaces, or just for the current workspace.

The event report resembles the view events tab. It contains a header section, with the report parameters, and an events grid.

The Event Report is made up of the following:

	Event report title	The report name.
	Events grid	All of the current events for the event report, displayed in an events grid. Also included is a column called Report Duration. This shows the duration from the start of the event to the end of the report time selection.
	Export to Excel	Click to export the grid to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
	Copy link to clipboard	Click to copy link to clipboard, as described in the next section.
	Select an open tab	Click the downward-pointing arrow, and select an open tab from the drop-down list.
	Report parameters and properties	Hierarchy: The hierarchy used for the report. Starting Point: The hierarchy starting point. Start Time: The selected report start time. End Time: The selected report end time. Template: The selected report template, in which assets must exist to be part of the report. Number of Assets: Number of assets found in the hierarchy. Workspace: The selected report template, in which assets must exist to be part of the report.

Event Timeline Report

The Event Timeline Report shows all events for the event view assets, over the selected period, optionally filtered for Severity of None.

For saved reports, events for the latest period are displayed every time you open the page to view the report. Every time you open this report, the reporting period adjusts so that the end of the period is current time; the start of the reporting period is determined by the period parameter.

The event timeline view shows the affected assets, with a corresponding percentage time chart, and an event timeline, as well as the highest severity and the event count, per asset.

Note: To limit the report result set, filter one or more of: the Asset list, the Highest Severity list, or the Event Count list.

The Event Timeline report contains a header section and a report section.

The Event Timeline report is made up of the following:

	Event Timeline report title	The report name.
	Report parameters and properties	Hierarchy: The hierarchy used for the report. Starting Point: The hierarchy starting point. Template: Assets must exist in the selected report template, to be included in the report. Period: The period (hour, day, month) to report from. Number of Assets: Number of assets found in the selected portion of the hierarchy, and also found in the selected template.
	Report body	Asset: A list of all assets (within the selected hierarchy, and existing in the selected template) that have events in the reporting period. Hover over the asset name, and click the asset icon that appears, to view the asset report. To expand the asset, click the expand button to the left of the asset name. This expands the report to show detail for the asset, as described in the next section. % Time: A horizontal bar graph displays the total percentage of time that events of each severity occurred over the reporting period. Event Timeline: This displays a magnified view of the asset events that occurred within the reporting period. Move the report hairline to get an exact time for any point in the timeline. Highest Severity: The highest severity, for this asset, within the reporting period. Event Count: The number of events for this asset, within the reporting period.

Asset Details

When you click on the expand button next to an asset, the report shows event details for every test that uses that particular asset, within the reporting parameters.

In this section of the report, the report body shows the monitor name and the test name for the expanded asset.

	The expanded asset
	Monitor and test detail for the expanded asset
	The next asset in the report
