Using Activity logs

Use Activity logs to get an overview of recent activities in your message flows and associated external resources.

About this task

Activity logs provide immediate, basic information about what is happening in your message flows, and how they are interacting with external resources. As a systems administrator, you can use Activity logs to understand recent activities affecting your systems. The logs are also useful for diagnosing problems that would not be easily resolved by using lower-level trace. For example, they can help you to understand why your message flow is not processing any messages from a remote resource.

Use Activity logs as the first point of investigation when something unexpected happens in a message flow. Since you do not need to turn on activity logging, it can provide an early indication of changed behavior, such as broken connections to external resources.

Find out more about Activity logs by reading the concept topic Activity log overview.

Use the Activity Log view in the web user interface to view recent Activity log information for individual message flows; see Viewing Activity logs for message flows.

To view activities over a longer period, use the Activity log configurable service to write Activity logs to file. See Writing Activity logs to files.

You can also view and configure the runtime properties for Activity logs; see Viewing and setting runtime properties for Activity logs.

Learn about the structure and content of Activity logs, and about the tags that enrich the log data and can be used to filter its content; see Activity logs.
