# Events Settings

> [!WARNING]
> 9.2.5: Events Pane Deprecation
> 
> From ControlUp for VDI version **9.2.5**, the **Events** pane functionality is being deprecated from the Real-Time DX Console. You can now manage all recorded Windows Events directly from the new [Windows Event Log](/v1/docs/windows-event-log) in DEX, giving you a more powerful and flexible way to manage events across your organization.

The **Events** pane gathers **Error** and **Warning** events from all of your managed machines.

NoteThis personal setting isn't global. If you clear the **AppData** folder it won't be applied anymore.

Use the following settings to configure the type of events you want to see:

**Events Retention Period**. By default, ControlUp only stores events in memory for an hour. Use this setting to modify the retention period.

**Note**

A drastic increase of the retention period may result in performance degradation.

**Event Type**. Select the types of events you would like to gather. By default, **Error**, **Warning** and **Audit Failure**.

**Excluded Events**. Create a new filter to configure which events you don't need to see anymore.

**Frequent Event Filter**. By default, when the same event type (by **Source** and **Event ID**) appears more than 100 times, ControlUp stops collecting this event. Use this setting to configure the event filter so that you don't see many repetitive events.
