Monitored Logs Attributes

Use the Monitored Logs attributes to create situations to monitor logs on a remote node.


Date Last Modified The date and time, as set on the monitored system, indicating the instance when the log was last modified. The timestamp format for SCAN and STR functions is CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

C = Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st)

Y = Year

M = Month

D = Day

H = Hour

M = Minute

S = Second

m = millisecond

Debug Mode This attribute indicates whether or not preformatted and postformatted events written to this log are also written to a debug log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of one character. NO is the only possible value.

Format Command The name of the command to be invoked to format log entries. For errlogs, this attribute represents the name of the command to be invoked to format entries in ASCII format. For user logs, this attribute represents the format command used to describe the log's format and how the data should be mapped and formatted in the Log Entries workspace. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 256 characters.

Log Name The name of the monitored log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 128 characters.

Log Name (Unicode) The name of the monitored log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 384 bytes.

Log Path The absolute path name of the monitored log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 256 characters.

Log Path (Unicode) The absolute path name of the monitored log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 768 bytes.

Log Size The size of the monitored log file, in bytes. Valid entry is an integer of up to four bytes, and the range is between 0 and 2147483647.

Log Type The log type, indicated by S = syslog, E = errlog, A = admin log, or U = user log. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of one character.

Managed System The name of the node that the agent is monitoring. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 64 characters.

Monitor Start/Stop Time A timestamp indicating the time at which a monitor started running (if the monitor status is running) or the time at which the monitor terminated. The timestamp format for SCAN and STR functions is CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

C = Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st)

Y = Year

M = Month

D = Day

H = Hour

M = Minute

S = Second

m = millisecond

Monitor Status If the log monitor is active, the status will be running; otherwise, the status will indicate the error that caused the monitor to terminate. Valid entry is an alphanumeric text string, with a maximum length of 32 characters.

Number of Events The number of events detected by the monitor since monitoring started. Valid entry is an integer of up to four digits, and the range is between 0 and 2147483647.

Number of Format Errors The number of events that the monitor was unable to understand and format (and as a result, were discarded). Valid entry is an integer of up to four bytes, and the range is between 0 and 2147483647.

Timestamp The date and time, as set on the monitored system, indicating the instance when the agent collects information. The timestamp format for SCAN and STR functions is CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm (as in 1020315064501000 for 03/15/02 06:45:01) where:

C = Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st)

Y = Year

M = Month

D = Day

H = Hour

M = Minute

S = Second

m = millisecond
