SSA RSM SSA Event Logger System View Event Log Analysis Contents

These pages provide an interface to the SSA Event Logger running on the using system. On PC server platforms, this is the dedicated SSA Event Logger. The user can modify the System Logging List which controls which error templates are surfaced to the using system Event Log. RSM provides the user with a method of viewing, or analysing the log for important SSA events; these functions are provided by the Event Logger itself.

The PC Server SSA Event Logger should be started when your system starts. Its purpose is to detect and log events which occur within your SSA subsystem and, depending on the nature or frequency of the event, provide an indication that corrective action may be required.

Timeout Value

The Timeout value sets the number of seconds that the configuration tools will wait for a response from SSA Event Logger. In a heavily loaded system you may wish to allow more time for the Event Logger to respond. To do this, enter a new value in the text box provided. (The default is 15 seconds).

The new timeout value will be set when you select any of the actions, as described below.


Actions:

The start action will only be available if RSM failed to make contact with the SSA Event Logger.

Stop

This action stops the SSA Event Logger. Selecting this action submits a new timeout as described above.

Note:

The stop action will only be available if RSM successfully made contact with the SSA Event Logger.

Analyse

This action searches the SSA Event Log for any event(s) that may have occurred. If there are any events found as a result of the analysis, they are displayed on the SSA Event Log Analysis page. Otherwise you are returned to the current page. Selecting this action submits a new timeout as described above.

View

This action displays all of the events currently stored in the SSA Event Log. All recent events will be displayed on the SSA Event Log View page. Selecting this action submits a new timeout as described above.

Ctrl File
