WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Sensor Events, Version 6.2

Tag Report agent

The Tag Report agent generates summary count reports for Tag Aggregation reports and Tag reports.

The summary report includes:
  • the number of tags in the most recent Tag Aggregation report
  • the total number of tags in all of the Tag Aggregation reports. This number is the cumulative total since the agent was started, and is reset to zero (0) when the bundle is stopped or the system is shut down.
  • the number of Tag Aggregation reports
  • the number of individual Tag reports

These summary reports are logged to the Alert system and published directly to the publish/subscribe system on a configurable topic, as set by the TagReportTopic property.

Viewing the reports

There are three options to view the reports:
  • Alert System: The TagReportAgent logs the summary reports to the Alert logging system. This level is set to DEBUG by default, but can be overridden using the log.level property. If the Alert system is configured with the same threshold level, these alerts will be forwarded to the WebSphere® Sensor Events and stored in the logs there.
  • Console Log: If the ConsoleLog is installed, running, and configured in Data Capture and Delivery with the appropriate threshold, DEBUG if using the default log.level for the TagReportAgent, then the TagReportAgent messages will be displayed on the console.
  • Edge Event Monitor: If the Edge Event Monitor is set to subscribe to the TagReportTopic, then the reports are displayed there regardless of the Alert threshold settings.
