Cause
The Security Expert Data Service needs to be restarted after making changes to the Event Types.
Resolution
- Navigate to Global | Event Types and change the display colors (background and /or text) for your required events. In the example below the operator login/logout events have been changed from the default colors to now be blue text on a yellow background. Note that you can click the column header to sort by name as well as use the search magnifying glass to filter the event list down to make it easier to find specific events.
Figure 1 - Event Types
- After saving your Event Type changes either restart the PC or restart the Security Expert Data Service for your changes to take effect.
- Start up and log in to Security Expert Client to see the new event colors.
