RELATED IDEAS

Would like to see that messages in the console events log state why a mirror of the SE was done. Example mirror completed due to scheduled event, or mirror completed due to configuration change.

Customer would get a better idea on why this was completed.   With our case TS020780719 we had a number of mirroring events happening and it wasn't stating what was causing the event.  We actually had a this happening in this case.  A lot of time hardware messages/events are not to descriptive and it would be beneficial for the messages to have more meaning.  They seem really generic.   And its not just this mirroring message "Mirroring data from the primary Support Element to the alternate Support Element started"  Again I don't think it would be hard to add more verbage to messages like this.
