228 Alphabetical list of commands
show events
Description Shows events logged by each controller in the storage system. A separate set of event numbers is
maintained for each controller. Each event number is prefixed with a letter identifying the controller
that logged the event.
Events are listed from newest to oldest, based on a timestamp with one-second granularity; therefore
the event log sequence matches the actual event sequence within about one second.
