Changing the problem determination level during a run

Lets you change the level of information logged during a run. By default, only warnings and severe errors are logged. Typically, you change this log level only when requested to do so by IBM Software Support.

Although the Execution history log gives general information on problems that occur during a run, you may need to investigate certain problems further by examining a detailed trace of the run. In general, you change this level only when asked to by technical support. However, under certain conditions, an advanced user might want to change the log level. For example, if problems occur when a run reaches a certain number of users, you might increase the log level to Config, which is the most detailed log level that you will generally use.
To change the problem determination log level:
  1. Click Change Log Level icon in the Performance Test Runs view.
  2. Set Problem determination log level to one of the following:
    Option Description
    All, Finest, Finer, Fine Set these options only if you are requested to do so by technical support.
    Config Logs static configuration messages. Configuration messages, which include hardware specifications or system profiles, require no corrective action.
    Info Logs informational messages. Informational messages, which include system state, require no corrective action.
    Warning Logs warning messages. This is the default setting. Warning messages, which include cautionary events that might indicate potential problems, require no corrective action.
    Severe Logs critical and fatal errors. Critical and fatal messages interrupt normal program execution, and you need to take corrective action.
    None Turns logging off.
  3. Click Finish.
To view the Problem determination log, click File > Import > Log File, and import the appropriate Common Base Event XML log. For more information on importing this file, search for the Help topic "Importing a Log File."
