Use this tab to view messages exchanged between the application
monitor and the pipelines registered for monitoring or routing. Typically,
these messages are also logged to system log files, depending on how your
system is configured for logging. First, you generate an on-screen report
of application monitor events to view. Then you can select a specific event
and take a closer look at its details; this information can be informational
or may be helpful in resolving pipeline errors or warnings.
Application monitor events typically include messages or errors exchanged
during pipeline processing - such as pipeline start, pipeline stop, or warnings
or errors generated during pipeline processing. The only type of errors and
warnings not included on this tab are UMF exceptions, which are data-driven
exceptions rather than processing information or exceptions.
- On-screen report criteria
- Use these fields to specify the criteria for the on-screen application
monitor events report. Once you specify the criteria, click the Search button
to generate the report. By default, this tab displays application monitor
events that occurred today for pipelines that are registered for application
monitoring.
- From Date
- Starting date to report on application monitor events within the other
criteria specified. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the
field blank means display application monitor events starting with the first
day the system became operational within the other criteria specified.)
- Thru Date
- Ending date to report on application monitor events within the other criteria
specified. (This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank
means display application monitor events through today within the other criteria
specified.)
- From Pipeline
- Name of the registered pipeline to view application monitor events for.
(This field is optional and can be blank. Leaving the field blank means display
application monitor events for all registered pipelines within the other criteria
specified.)
- Keep in mind that you can only see application monitor events on this
tab for pipelines that are registered for application monitoring.
- Max Count
- Drop-down list containing options for the maximum number of application
monitor events to display within the other criteria specified. Only the number
of application events up to and including the maximum number display on-screen.
If there are more application events that meet the criteria, the system does
not display them.
- Search button
- By clicking this button, the system executes the search by finding and
displaying all application event monitor records that match the entered criteria.
- On-screen report results display
- This section of the window displays the on-screen application monitor
events report, based on the criteria you entered. The list is sorted by ID
number.
- ID
- Displays the sequential, system-assigned number associated with this application
monitor event.
- From Pipeline
- Displays the registered pipeline that is affected by or that is involved
in the application monitor event. This is the pipeline that you may need to
troubleshoot.
- Date/Time
- Displays the date and time stamp when the application monitor event occurred.
- Event
- Displays the type of application monitor event that occurred. The Event
Description and Error Level columns contain
more information about this event and indicate the severity of the event type.
There are currently two possible application monitor event types:
- NODE-INFO is a note or other type of informational event that
occurred in the affected pipeline. This event type typically displays when
the affected pipeline is started or stopped.
- NODE-ERROR is an error that occurred in the affected pipeline.
Check the Error Level column to see if this requires
immediate action. Typically, you should take a closer look at the information
about this application monitor event; it may assist you in resolving a problem
with this pipeline.
- Event Description
- Provides up to 30 characters of more information about the application
monitor event.
- Error Level
- Displays the type of error level of the application monitor event. There
are currently two possible event types:
- NOTE is the error level associated with the NODE-INFO event.
Usually, this error level type is informational, so it generally requires
no user action.
- ERR is the error level associated with the NODE-ERROR event.
This type of error level usually indicates that you should take a closer look
at the details of this application monitor event to resolve the error. You
can see the full details of the event by clicking on it.
