The events tab is only populated, if on the systems being monitored has SMTP setup and are set to send these HW events to the monitoring server. If this isn't setup the events tap doesn't get populated.
On the client, install smtp and smtp provider. Open up the SNMP service and configured the security tab to accept traps from the monitoring server and specify your community name with read and create. You most likely already have this whole part done. Next on the traps tab, enter your community name in the list and remove any other community names that your not using. then the box below specify the system name, or IP or FQDN on where you want to send the traps to - this would be your monitoring server.
You think must stop and start the snmp service for this to completely take affect. You should see startup events on the monitoring server under events for this server. Once you reboot the client you will also see the rest of your hardware events since that is usually only generated on the server startup, or when the problem happens.
