Local error logs

WebSphere® Event Broker components use the local error log (also known as the system log) to record information about major activities within the system. When an error occurs, check the local error log first.

Windows platform On Windows®, the local error log is the Windows Event log (Application view).

UNIX platform On UNIX® and Linux® systems, the local error log is the syslog. Where syslog messages are sent depends on how you configure your UNIX or Linux system.

z/OS platform On z/OS®, the local error log is the operator console.

Entries in the local error log that are generated by WebSphere Event Broker are identified as follows:

When a broker encounters an error, more than one message might be written to the local error log. Typically these start with a general message (for example, Could not process a message), and further messages give more details about the cause of the error (for example, An error was detected while processing the following SQL statement.).
