Bottom Frame

The bottom frame displays two tabbed views:

• Hardware Status

• Recent Events

Hardware Status displays all managed platform components that report a warning or error state. The information is provided by the AMU/APW services by requesting state information from a platform's firmware. The display is dynamically updated to always show the most recent status. The status information is not logged.

Roll the mouse over a long description to see the entire description. Drag the column heading to modify the size of a field; click the column header to sort the column alphabetically.

See Status Checks for more information on warnings or errors.

Recent Events displays the latest events reported to EVM by the console manager (CMFD) and AMU.

When the SPM client starts, a maximum of 500 events that have occurred in the last 24 hours are retrieved from the EVM log and delivered to the SPM client for display. After this initial retrieval and for the duration of the SPM client session, the events display will be updated to display any new events that may occur. The Recent Events table always displays 500 or less entries. New events are added to the top and old ones are removed from the bottom when the max limit is reached.  The display is meant to provide an immediate notice that something that may need immediate attention has occurred. To view the full log that may contain additional information you can open the EVM Viewer by selecting from in the Platforms Icon Actions Menu.

The table by default is sorted by date and time. To sort the display using another column, select the header of the column.

Note that the ES47/ES80/GS1280 events are the same as the firmware alerts shown in the AMU's main display. Starting with AMS 5.0, AMU forwards the alerts to EVM, and they are now logged by EVM and displayed in SPM and in the EVM Event Viewer.
