How to use the Common Base Event browser to specify search
criteria for querying events in the event database.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have already opened the event browser
and are viewing the Get Events panel.
The Event Data Store Properties
fields require completion. The Event Filter Properties fields are
optional, and you can narrow your events search based on time, date,
server name, sub-component name, and event severity parameters.
Procedure
- Required: Specify the Event Data Store to search.
The field is a Java™ Naming
and Directory Interface (JNDI) name, an Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) reference that can be configured
in the administrative console. The server default is java:comp/env/eventsaccess,
but you may need to specify a different name if you are working in
a Network Deployment environment (see the WebSphere® Application Server
Network Deployment, version 6.1 documentation
for more details about JNDI naming).
- Required: Specify the Event Group to search.
This is the event group from which events are retrieved.
The default group is All events.
- Required: Specify the number of events to retrieve.
The maximum number of events to search is 500.
- Optional: Specify the Creation Date (calendar
period) for the report.
Enter the start and end dates.
- Optional: Specify the Creation Time (time period)
for the report.
Enter the start and end times.
- Optional: Specify the server name.
- Optional: Specify the sub-component name, if
applicable.
- Optional: Specify an event's priority. The range of events priorities to retrieve is from 0 (lowest
priority) to 100 (highest priority).
- Optional: Specify an event's severity.
The range of events severities to retrieve is from 0 (least
severe) to 70 (most severe).
- Click Get Events.
