Use the Limits page to specify how far back to search for events to add to the list, how many events to retrieve, and how long you want events to remain in the list. For each of the fields, you can change the time increments to minutes, days, weeks, or months.
In the Event Retrieval area, you can specify how far back to look for events starting from the current date. You can also specify the maximum number of events to retrieve, up to 2,000. The default is 100 events. To retrieve all events, specify 0. Be warned that specifying 0 may retrieve more than 2,000 events and may take some time.
Select Most recent or Least recent to specify the whether you want to see the newest or oldest events when more than the maximum number of events is retrieved.
In the Event Expiration area, you can specify how long you want to keep open and closed events in the list. Acknowledged events will always remain in the list until their status changes to closed.
Note: You must refresh the event viewer to receive status updates to the events.
