Bug ID 1550413: System events visible in the CLI may not be visible in the GUI

Last Modified: Oct 21, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS F5OS, F5OS-A, F5OS-C(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.6.1, F5OS-C 1.6.2

Fixed In:
F5OS-A 1.8.0

Opened: Feb 22, 2024

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Running "show system events" on the F5OS CLI typically reveals many events that are not visible in the GUI under System Settings > Alarms & Events. The GUI filters the display of events according to their assigned severity. But since many events are not assigned a severity, such events will be hidden from view.

Impact

The omission of events displayed in the GUI can be misleading. Administrators using the GUI may not be aware of important events that have occurred on the platform.

Conditions

Events that are not assigned a severity are instead marked "NA". Such events are not visible in the GUI and can only be seen via the CLI or API.

Workaround

All system events can be seen by running 'show system events' on the F5OS CLI or by retrieving them via the REST API.

Fix Information

On fixed versions, a new option called 'All' has been added to the Severity drop-down selector in the GUI. This displays all events, including ones without a severity assigned.
