Filtering broker domain log information

Broker domain log information is written to the Event Log editor in the workbench. The Event Log contains information about events that occur in a broker domain. It records the source of the event and whether the event is information, an error or a warning.

You can filter the events by message source, message type, or both. This allows you to view a particular set of events.

To open the Event Log filter.

  1. Switch to the Broker Administration perspective.
  2. In the Domains view, open the Event Log for the appropriate broker domain.
  3. In the Event Log editor menu click Event Log editor > Filter Log .... The Filter Log window opens. It has a checkbox for each of the three message types, and a drop-down menu containing all possible message sources. The default view for the Log Filter is:
    • All message type checkboxes are active, denoting that messages of all three types are displayed.
    • Message source is set to All, denoting that messages from all sources are displayed.
Using Log Filter, you can filter broker domain log information in the following ways:
  • Filtering by message type. To filter the log so that it displays messages only of a particular type:
    1. Clear the checkboxes for all three event types.
    2. Check the checkbox of the event type that you want to view.

      You can view more than one type by selecting the appropriate checkboxes.

    3. Click OK to activate the filter.
  • Filtering by message source. To filter the log such that it displays messages from only one source:
    1. Open the Message Source drop-down menu by clicking the down arrow. Select the message source by which you want to filter.
    2. Click OK to activate the filter.
  • Filtering by message type and message source. To filter the log so that it displays messages only of a particular type, from a particular message source:
    1. Clear the checkboxes for all three event types.
    2. Check the checkbox of the event type that you want to view.

      You can view more than one type by selecting the appropriate checkboxes.

    3. From the Message Source drop-down menu, select the message source by which you want to filter.
    4. Click OK to activate the filter for both message type and message source.

To revert to the default view of the Event Log, where all message types from all message sources are displayed, check all message type checkboxes and All from the message source drop-down menu.
