Events that occurred in the last 6 months are displayed. You can also export events from the last 90 days in a CSV file.

Packages were deleted from the repository

Note:
When you update the 3.1.1 AMS to version 1.2 by using the management update package, you may see the event AMS upgrade has started on the Monitor > Events page. This is incorrect and it should say AMS update instead of AMS upgrade.
On completion of the update, another event is logged: AMS update is complete. This event correctly describes the event as AMS update.
Each event is attached to a specific host (AMS or agent) and has a severity. The event severity can be one of the following:
Event Severity | Description |
|---|---|
Information | Information about normal system operation |
Error | Indicates problems where immediate intervention is required. It may indicate that one or more operations have failed. |
Warning | Alerts you about a condition that may cause an error. |
You can search for the UMI code column (Unique Message Identifier) on the Support site to learn more about the event. Visit the Support site at:
