IM Relationship Resolution Information Center, Version 4.2

Events tab

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.
