# event list

This command lists all events on the VAST Cluster.

##### Usage

```plaintext
event list [--start-time START-TIME] 
           [--end-time END-TIME] 
           [--object-type TYPE]
           [--object-id OBJECT_ID] 
           [--message TEXT] 
           [--event-type AUDIT|ERROR|GENERAL|OBJECT_CREATED|DELETED|OBJECT_MODIFIED|THRESHOLD]
           [--severity CRITICAL|MAJOR|MINOR|INFO] 
           [--event-origin CLUSTER|MANAGEMENT|SECURITY|USER]
           [--page PAGE_NUMBER] 
           [--page-size NUMBER_ON_PAGE]
```

##### Options

| `--start-time START-TIME` | Starts listing from a specified event time. Specify START-TIME in the format *YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS*. For example: 2017-10-19 10:31:47 |
| --- | --- |
| `--end-time END-TIME` | Ends listing by a specified event time. Specify END-TIME in the format *YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS*. For example: 2017-10-19 10:31:47 |
| `--object-type TYPE` | Filters the list by object type. For example: `--object-type Cluster` Valid types: ```plaintext Vms\|Cluster\|BMC\|CNode\|DNode\|ReplicationTarget\| ReplicationStream \|SSD\|NVRAM\|NIC\|Carrier\|Quota\| Fan\|PSU\|DBox\|CBox\|Switch\|Port\|Ldap\|License\|NIS\| Task\|Host\|SupportBundle\|ActiveDirectory ``` |
| `--object-id OBJECT_ID` | Filters the list by object ID. For example: `--object-id 23` |
| `--message TEXT` | Filters the list by event message text. Specify any text to search for as TEXT. The search is case sensitive. For example: `--message DEGRADED` |
| `--event-type AUDIT\|ERROR\|GENERAL\|OBJECT_CREATED\|DELETED\|OBJECT_MODIFIED\|THRESHOLD` |  |
| `--severity CRITICAL\|MAJOR\|MINOR\|INFO` | Filters the list by severity. |
| `--event-origin CLUSTER\|MANAGEMENT\|SECURITY\|USER` |  |
| `--page PAGE_NUMBER` | Displays a specified page if `--page-size` is set. Defaults to the first page. |
| `--page-size NUMBER_ON_PAGE` | Sets the maximum number of alarms to display on a page. |
