Saving the Event Browser to a file
You can save the displayed Event Browser entries to a file. Filtering affects the save operation, because
only displayed events are saved. To save the Event Browser to a file, perform the following procedure:
1. Filter and sort the Event Browser to obtain the desired display. Refer to ”Filtering the Event Browser” on
page 45 and ”Sorting the Event Browser” on page 45 for more information.
2. Select File > Save As.
3. Select a pathname to which to save the event log and click Save. The file can be saved in XML, CSV, or
text format. XML files can be opened with an internet browser or text editor. CSV files can be opened
with most spreadsheet applications.

are logged into specific switches, select one or more switches in the fabric tree or the topology display.
