You can search for events related to archiving roles (Archiver and Auxiliary Archiver) using the Archiver events report.

What you should know

You can check the status of an Archiver by selecting it, setting the time range to one week, and making sure there are no critical events in the report. You can also troubleshoot an Archiver by searching for important events, such as Disk load threshold exceeded or Cannot write to any drive, and see when those events occurred.
Tip: You can monitor incoming camera events on the Archiver and be notified if an unusually high event rate is occurring. This allows you to investigate, take action, and prevent performance issues.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Archiver events task.
  2. Set up the query filters for the report. Choose from one or more of the following filters:
    Archiver
    Select the archiving roles (Archiver and Auxiliary Archiver) you want to investigate.
    Event timestamp
    Define the time range for the query. You can define the time range for a specific period or a relative period, such as the previous week or the previous month.
    Events
    Select the events of interest. The available event types depend on the task you are using.
    Custom fields
    Restrict the search to a predefined custom field for the entity. This filter only appears if custom fields are defined for the entity, and if the custom field was made visible to you when it was created or last configured.
  3. Click Generate report.
    The Archiver events are listed in the report pane.
