Importing Common Event Infrastructure logs
You can import Common Event Infrastructure logs from a Common Event Infrastructure repository
and analyze or correlate them with other logs.
To import Common Event Infrastructure logs:
- From the main menu bar, click File > Import.
- In the Import wizard, expand Profiling and Logging and click Log File then click Next.
- In the Import Log File wizard, click Add.
- In the Add Log File wizard, select Common Event Infrastructure Repository log from the list of log types.
- In the Details tab:
- Click Add location to add a location of a Common Event Infrastructure repository
to the CEI Repository JDBC location combo box.
- In the JDBC driver location field, enter the location of the JDBC driver.
The following is a list of supported databases and the corresponding JDBC drivers.
Note: Some JDBC drivers may require a license file.
Check that the license file is in the same location as the JDBC driver.
- In the Database type combo box, select the type of database containing the log events.
- In the Database location
field, enter the host name and port number used to connect to the database.
- In the Database name field, enter the name of the database that contains the events.
This name is usually event.
- In the Username field, enter the user ID used to create the database tables.
- In the Password field, enter the user password associated with the user ID.
- Click Test connection to test the connection to the Common Event Infrastructure repository.
- Click OK.
Log and Trace Analyzer does not ship a JDBC driver.
You must provide a JDBC driver for Log and Trace Analyzer to connect to the Common Event Infrastructure repository.
- Select the location from the CEI Repository JDBC location combo box.
- Select the version from the Common Event Infrastructure version combo box.
- The Available logs section lists the keys based on component:location:processID:instanceID.
If the processID is null, its value will default to 0.
Similarly, if the instanceID is null, its value will default to 0.
To select Common Event Infrastructure logs:
- Optional: Click Refresh list to update the list of keys in the Available logs section.
- Click on one or more logs in the Available logs section.
- Click on the right arrow buttons to move the logs to the Selected logs section.
