View destination output history

Complete this procedure to view the output history of destinations or destination folders.

You can choose from one of the predefined output history time frames or create a custom query.

  1. In the Destinations tree, select a destination or destination folder.
  2. Right-click and click Output History.
  3. On the Output History submenu, choose one of the predefined output history time frames or create a custom query. To create a custom query, complete the following steps:
    1. In the submenu, click Custom query. The query tool dialog will display.
    2. Click the plus button next to the AND operator.
    3. To select the column, click the column name link in the condition and select the appropriate column from the list.
      All available columns will display in the list.
    4. Click the operator link in the condition and select the appropriate comparison operator from the list.
      The comparison operator list displays only the operators supported by the current column's data type. For example, the Priority column is of the numeric type so the operator list doesn't display the 'Begins with' operator and other operators that are related to the string type.
    5. Click the <enter a value> link and enter a value in the box.
    6. To add additional conditions, click the plus button next to the group's AND operator.
      This will create new conditions below the current one.
    7. Repeat the preceding steps to complete each condition statement.
    8. Click OK to query data using the new query statement.
      To cancel the query, click the Cancel Query Mode button below the grid.
    You can create more advanced queries containing multiple logical (Boolean) operators. To change the root logical operator, click the current AND operator and select the appropriate operator from the list. You can then add a new query statement group by clicking the operator and selecting Add Group. You can add multiple groups containing multiple conditions. Complete each group using the steps above.
  4. In the Destination/Device Output and SNMP Alert History window, review the output history for the selected destination or folder.
  5. Use the following procedures to change the output history as needed.
    • In the Destination tree, click destinations and folders as necessary. The grid will update to match the new tree selection.
