Specifying the events to view

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 allow you to narrow your events search based on time, date, server name, sub-component name, and event severity parameters.

Steps for this task

  1. 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 ESB default is java:comp/env/eventsaccess.

  2. Required: Specify the Event Group to search.

    This is the event group from which events are retrieved. The default group is All events.

  3. Required: Specify the number of events to retrieve.

    The maximum number of events to search is 500.

  4. Optional: Specify the Creation Date (calendar period) for the report.

    Enter the start and end dates.

  5. Optional: Specify the Creation Time (time period) for the report.

    Enter the start and end times.

  6. Optional: Specify the server name.
  7. Optional: Specify the sub-component name, if applicable.
  8. Optional: Specify an event's priority. The range of events priorities to retrieve is from 0 (lowest priority) to 100 (highest priority).
  9. Optional: Specify an event's severity.

    The range of events severities to retrieve is from 0 (least severe) to 70 (most severe).

  10. 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 choose 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

Once events are returned, you can work with them to get various levels of event detail.
