# Event Views

The Events view provides a tabular view of events with ability to select granular filter options (left pane in the image below), [search queries](/references/event-query-language.md) and Time ranges.

The events are created when a protected asset is configured with a Trigger object of the type "**Log**" - which is also the default configuration. Log triggers setup and additional configuration options are explained in further details here:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/getting-started/monitor-events/event-views.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
