Event Log editor

The Event Log editor is launched in the editor area of the Broker Administration perspective when you double-click the Event Log in the Domains view.

The event messages are stored in the configuration repository and managed by the Configuration Manager. You can view the messages in the Event Log editor following configuration deploys.

The Event Log editor has two panes called Logs and Details. You can maximize and minimize each pane, and toggle between them.

Event Log editor views

Logs pane

The Logs pane displays a summary of each event in the Event Log editor, comprising a message identifier, the source of the message, for example the Configuration Manager or a broker, and the date and time the message was generated.

Right-clicking in the Logs pane displays the following menu items:

  • Clear Log

    Clears all log entries from the Event Log editor and deletes the log entries from the configuration repository. You cannot retrieve a message that has been cleared.

    Messages are automatically cleared from the Event Log editor and the configuration repository after 72 hours.

  • Filter Log

    Displays the Log Filter. You can filter on the type of message and the source of the message to restrict the number of log entries that are displayed in the Event Log editor.

  • Revert

    Refreshes the Event Log editor with the most recent log entries from the Configuration Manager. You only need to use this option if the workbench is not synchronized with the Configuration Manager.

  • Save Log As

    Saves the messages to a filename and path of your choice. Save Log As does not remove messages from the Event Log editor or the configuration repository.

Details pane

The Details pane displays the complete message, and any corrective action, for the log entry selected in the Logs pane.

Preferences

You can change the preferences for the Event Log editor. For example, you can customize the colors used for each type of event message.
