Narrative:
Passing roughly 2;000 feet; autopilot off; first officer (first officer) hand flying; get direct cshel. I'm heads down in the box; when my peripheral sees an ECAM and system page on lower ECAM pop up. By the time I execute the direct and look over; [the] screens go back to normal [and there is] nothing on [the] status page. First officer has no clue; but I know some thing's up.passing roughly 4;000 feet; no smoking and ldg light green indications on upper ECAM screen cycle on and off a few times; then return to normal. Passing roughly 12;000 feet; 'ding;' ECAM: C/B tripped rear panel w-z. No breakers are tripped; but ECAM stays displayed for about 3 minutes. Then goes out. Passing roughly 18;000 feet; 'ding;' ECAM: hydraulic B rsvr lo air pr. On status page; hydraulic B quantity good; system output press good - 3;000 - but air pressure indicating low.[I] messaged technical support maintenance control; [and] they ask about quantity and fluid pressure. I reply; 'both normal.' ECAM lasts roughly 3 minutes and then clears itself. Passing roughly 22;000; ldg lt indication on upper ECAM screen cycles on and off. Finally extinguishes after two minutes.I messaged technical support maintenance control again [and] ask what's going on. They ignore me [and] never reply. In order to document [them]; I wrote up all 4; tripped C/B; hydraulic low air pressure; smoking light; landing light. While this is all going on; I'm thinking the jet might be on fire. Always my first thought when random; inexplicable things start happening. Two thorough cycles through the system pages reveal all normal; which puts me at ease. Once established at cruise; all indications [were] normal and we continued [the] flight with no further incident.
