The event database stores information about events that occur in the Connection Server host or group, Horizon 8, and Horizon Console, and notifies you of the number of events on the dashboard. You can examine the events in detail on the Events page.
Note: Events are listed in the Horizon Console interface for a limited time period. After this time, the events are only available in the historical database tables. You can use Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL database reporting tools to examine events in the database tables. For more information, see Event Database Tables and Schemas.
In addition to monitoring events in Horizon Console, you can generate Horizon 8 events in Syslog format so that the event data can be accessible to analytics software. See Configure Event Logging to File or Syslog Server and Generating Horizon Event Log Messages in Syslog Format Using the ‑I Option.
If you configure an event database for multiple Connection Servers, Horizon Console displays the events for all Connection Servers on the Events page. Horizon Console filters events based on the tasks that you perform and displays these events on relevant pages such as the Desktop Pools or Application Pools pages.
Prerequisites
Create and configure the event database as described in the Configuring Event Reporting in Horizon Console.
Procedure
-
In Horizon Console, select Monitor > Events.

On the Events page, you can set options, select the time range of the events, filter the events, and sort the listed events by one or more of the columns.
At the top of the page you have the option of selecting Time in UTC. When selected, this option converts the values in the Time column to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).These values are included if you choose to export event data.
To apply filters, click the filter icon at the top right of the page. In the Event Filters dialog, you can select the following filters.
<tr>
| Filter | Description |
|---|---|
| User | Filters events by specified domain and name/user name. |
| Severity | Filters events by the assigned severity value. |
| Time | Filters events by the time the event occurred. You can select one of the standard ranges or set a custom range of your own. Note: The range of dates you set cannot start earlier than the range set for Horizon Console Events in Settings > Event Configuration. |
| Module | Filters events by the module associated with the event. |
| Source | Filters events by the value in the Source column, which indicates where the event was generated. |
| Message | Filters events by the text in the Message column. |
