WebSphere® Application Server uses Common Base Events within its logging framework. Common Base Events can be created explicitly and then logged through the Java™ logging API, or can be created implicitly by using the Java logging API directly.
An event is a notification from an application or the application server that reports information that is related to a specific problem or situation. Common Base Events provide you with a standard structure for these event notifications, which allow you to correlate events that are received from different applications. Log Common Base Events to capture events from different sources to help you fix a problem within an application environment or to tune system performance.
For Common Base Event creation, the application server environment provides a Common Base Event factory with a content handler that provides both runtime data and template data for Common Base Events.
