The System Event Dashboard provides an immediate view of current events from the network and NetIM. You can see top level status, you can navigate down to specific status events, and you can see events in full detail. The System Event Dashboard also includes a Message Center to display the Message of the Day.

NetIM stores these events in the NetIM database. Events are stored in NetIM until they are removed by the Event Maintenance Service component of System Maintenance. In the default configuration, events are retained for two weeks.
