Configuring CEI server monitoring using the administrative console

Use the administrative console to dynamically specify the monitoring function that publishes Common Base Events to the Common Event Infrastructure server.

Before you begin

You must enable the diagnostic trace service, just as you would with the logger. After you restart your server or cluster you can invoke the events you want to monitor, so that they appear on the list of events available for monitoring.

Why and when to perform this task

This method of selecting events for monitoring is used for applications that have already been deployed on WebSphere ESB. Events that are specified in a .mon file that is deployed with the application on WebSphere ESB are monitored by the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) regardless of any changes you make here. For those events, you can only specify a greater level of detail to be captured and published to the CEI database. The output that is published to the CEI database is very similar to that published by loggers.

To configure CEI server monitoring properties for a server or cluster, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. Display the detail settings page for the server or cluster.
    Option Description
    For a server
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Application Servers.
    2. In the content pane, click the name of the server.
    For a cluster
    1. In the navigation pane, click Servers > Clusters.
    2. In the content pane, click the name of the cluster.
  2. Under Troubleshooting, click Logging and tracing
  3. Click Change Log Detail levels
  4. The list of components, packages, and groups displays all the components that are currently registered on the running server; only events that have been invoked at least once appear on this list.
    • To make a static change to the configuration, click the Configuration tab.
    • To change the configuration dynamically, click the Runtime tab.
  5. Select an event or group of events to monitor.
  6. Choose the level of detail that you wish to capture for each event.
    Note: Only the levels FINE, FINER, and FINEST are valid for CEI events.
  7. Click Apply, and then Save.
  8. Click OK.
  9. If you made a static change to the configuration, then you will have to restart WebSphere ESB for the changes to take effect.

Result

You can view the monitored event results in the Common Base Event browser.
