Saving Activity log information
Save the Activity log information that is written to the Activity Log view in the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer.
Activity log information is deleted automatically from the broker when the broker restarts; and log entries are lost when the in-memory log cache is overwritten. You can save the log contents to file if you want to retain them.
- Right-click in the Activity Log view and select Save Activity Log.
- Navigate to a directory into which to save the log information and enter a file name. The file is saved as a comma-delimited .csv file.
- Click Save.
Each message displayed in the Activity Log view is written to a comma-delimited .csv file. Only displayed activities and fields are written; hidden fields or activities that were removed from the view by using a filter search string are not saved. For more information about how you can organize the data in the Activity Log view, see Working with Activity log content.
You can open the saved log in a text editor or in a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.
