The message browser provides the operator with a view of messages and is the focal point of an operator account. The messages in the message browser indicate to the operator that an event has occurred.

Each column provides indicators to the operator. At a glance, the operator can determine where the event originated, the severity of the event, and the type of event that occurred. Figure 12-4.
