1.0 How Do I View Live Events?

Borealis provides a live events screen which displays all the system transactions in real-time. Events such as: Access granted, access denied, door open, door forced open, door unlocked, etc along with their associated time stamp and location. Live events are displayed on a per-site basis. Once connected to a site, all events generated by that site will be displayed in the live events grid.

2.0 Viewing Live Events

  1. From the main menu on the left, click on Live Events (at the bottom of the list).
  2. If you only have one site, live events will immediately start appearing from the site immediately.



  3. System events will appear immediately as they are generated by the system.

3.0 Viewing Specific Event Types

You can use the event types menu filter to display only specific events:

  1. Locate the Messages Types drop-down menu. By default it is set to display all message types.
  2. Use the drop-down list to select a specific event type. For example; you may wish to only view 'Access Granted' messages.



    Note: If you click on a different menu item and then click back on Live Events, the message type filter reverts back to the default of displaying all message types.

  3. Only access granted messages will now be displayed in live events. All other event types will be masked.

4.0 Enabling and Disabling Live Events Columns

You can use the column selector to determine which columns will be displayed in live events.
  1. Click on the column select icon (located on the left-side of the events grid).



  2. Place a check mark against the columns you wish to be displayed. Remove the check mark from any columns that should be hidden.



  3. Click the APPLY button for the changes to take effect.

Note: The column selections will revert back to the defaults if you clear your browser cache.
