Abstract
A set of connected network devices and at least one network device generate an event record containing an identity of the generating network device and a timestamp indicating when the event was generated. The event record is retrieved that identifies the network device that generated the event. A key period of use associated with the generating network device is also retrieved. If the time of the event is within the retrieved key period, the event record is modified to show that the event is within the retrieved key period. Using information in the modified event record, the event and an indication that the event is within the retrieved key period is displayed.
