Event Log workspace

Use the Event Log workspace to monitor and analyze events occurring on a queue manager to identify trends and discover the root cause of problems resulting in event generation. This workspace displays both events that occurred locally and those that occurred on a remote queue manager reporting to the selected queue manager.

Predefined views

The Event Log workspace includes the following predefined views:

  • Event Log The Event Log view shows you a list of events that were reported to the selected queue manager. Because it is possible to monitor events occurring on one queue manager from another queue manager, the Event QMgr Name and Event Host Name fields indicate where the event actually occurred. This view displays both events that occurred locally and those that occurred on a remote queue manager reporting to the selected queue manager. Select an event in this view to display more detailed information about it.

    Use the information in this view to determine what events occurred on the queue manager over a period of time. This view can be used to search for patterns within the data, such as events that occur at certain times or on certain days, or that are generated for particular resources. To display descriptive and environmental information about an event, select the event from in the table.

    Remember: If the value of the topic string attribute is longer than 256 bytes, only the leftmost 256 bytes are displayed in this workspace.
  • Message Log The message log gives you an overview of changes in the status of your monitored system. It also provides information about the status of monitoring agents and other system events. For more information on this view, see Tivoli® Enterprise Portal Help.

For more information on the attributes listed in the tables of this workspace, see Event History attributes.
