How to use the Common Base Event browser to specify search criteria
for querying events in the event database.
Before you begin
This task assumes that you have already opened the event browser and
are viewing the Get Events panel.
The Event Data Store Properties fields
require completion. The Event Filter Properties fields are optional, and you
can narrow your events search based on time, date, server name, sub-component
name, and event severity parameters.
Steps for this task
- Required: Specify the Event Data Store to search.
The field is a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) name, an
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) reference that can be configured in the administrative
console. The WebSphere Process Server default
is java:comp/env/eventsaccess, but you may need to specify
a different name if you are working in a Network Deployment environment (see
the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment documentation for
more details about JNDI naming).
- Required: Specify the Event Group to search.
This is the event group from which events are retrieved. The default
group is All events.
- Required: Specify the number of events to retrieve.
The maximum number of events to search is 500.
- Optional: Specify the Creation Date (calendar period)
for the report.
Enter the start and end dates.
- Optional: Specify the Creation Time (time period) for
the report.
Enter the start and end times.
- Optional: Specify the server name.
- Optional: Specify the sub-component name, if applicable.
- Optional: Specify an event's priority. The
range of events priorities to retrieve is from 0 (lowest priority) to 100
(highest priority).
- Optional: Specify an event's severity.
The
range of events severities to retrieve is from 0 (least severe) to 70 (most
severe).
- Click Get Events.
Result
The number of Common Base Events matching the search criteria is displayed.
If the results you queried do not appear, see Troubleshooting the Common Base Event browser.Example
To view the returned events, select a view from the navigation bar.
You can click
All Events,
BPEL Process Events,
User
Data Events, or
Server Events. When you
view event data, you can change your search criteria at any time by clicking
Get
Events.
What to do next
After events are returned, you can work with them to get various
levels of event detail.
