8.2.a: How to View Messages

You can view messages in the console messages area and with the events viewer.

Console Messages area

The Console Messages area, located at the bottom of the WebSphere Administrative Console, provides the highest level of tracing information. When a message event occurs, it is displayed in the Messages area.

When you require more information than the Messages area provides, review the messages recorded in the Event Viewer.

Event Viewer

The Event Viewer maintains a collection of the most recent message events. You can configure the Event Viewer to show any combination of audit, fatal, terminate, and warning message events.

The Event Viewer "Log Limit" property specifies how many event records to keep. They are stored in the administrative repository (database). If your database is becoming too full, set the Log Limit to the minimum value that is reasonable for your environment.

Access the Event Viewer from the Console menu on the menu bar of the administrative console.
