Overview of the Generic Log Adapter
The Generic Log Adapter allows you to process application log files and transform their contents
into the Common Base Event format which can then be used for logging, management, problem determination, and autonomic computing.
- Generic Log Adapter - Overview
The Generic Log Adapter framework simplifies the adoption of the Common Base Event format. The Adapter Configuration Editor and the runtime are components provided by the Generic Log Adapter that will help you create and test transforms quickly.
- Creating a log parser
With the aid of the Generic Log Adapter framework, programmers can contribute static parsers and parsers based on pre-defined rules to the Import wizard in the Log and Trace Analyzer tool.
- Creating an adapter for external logging
The Generic Log Adapter provides an outputter class that allows the Common Base Event objects generated by your adapter to be sent to a logging agent. The Log and Trace Analyzer can be used to attach to the logging agent, to monitor and to analyze the application log in real time.
