Orion's Message Centre is missing its previous functionality

robertcbrowning over 3 years ago

Please restore syslogs, traps etc to the Message Centre which disappeared (I think) in 2020.2.4

Alerts & Activity > Message Centre used to show syslogs, traps VMWare events,Windows events etc and it was really easy to see which of the log types was producing the heaviest load on Orion. It seems that this disappeared recently and the page now only offers Alerts, Events and Audit.

Please re-add these options to the Message Centre page

Robert - These all moved to Log Viewer now.

Hi, long time no see

yes thanks,perhaps it's just the menus that need tidying up. If, for example, the syslog menu item took you to a filtered LA page that also showed the other options it might be clearer

When you did your install/upgrade there was option where you could opt out of installing Log Viewer and then you would still have those menus.

Hi, We bought the LA module as it was a great improvement of previous viewing methods, I really think that it's just a bit of menu confusion.

Hi Robert!

Thank you for this bit of feedback! Are you able to get that information from the Log Viewer, or is there something about the Message Centre's UI/functionality that made it more suitable?

As you commented earlier, I'll let the team know about the menu titles. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything else. :)

Thanks!

Hi Ashley, The info's all there in the Log Analyser and nicely slice-able. It's just the menus that don't quite do what I expected. If the syslog & trraps drop down options were replaced by a single logs option and then that link to the full LA page it think it would be more intuitive. Many thanks, Robert
