Events
After event handlers start generating events, view events and event details in Incidents & Events > Event Monitor.
When rebuilding the SQL database, you might not see a complete list of historical events. However, you can always see events in real-time logs. You can view the status of the SQL rebuild by checking the Rebuilding DB status in the Notification Center.
