About Events
The Events page displays all the events occurring in the virtual fabric component, VM Domain, and VM manager. An event is an incident that occurs at a specific point in time. Examples of events include:
- Cloud provider License Expiry
- UCT-V Inventory Update Completed
- Cloud provider Connection Status Changed
An Alarm is a response to one or more related events. If an event is considered of high severity, then GigaVUE‑FM raises an alarm. An example of alarm is your cloud provider license expiry.
The alarms and events broadly fall into the following categories: Critical, Major, Minor, or info.
