# 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](https://waf-doc.inext.checkpoint.com/references/event-query-language) 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:
