Monitor the health of the data-protection system by viewing
the log of the central administration console server. The audit log
records all interaction with the central administration console and with
the clients.

About this task
The audit log records events from the central
administration server. If you are interested only in the events of
an individual client, see the activity log for that client.
The
audit log is located in the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server
profiles folder. The audit log folder in a default installation path
is C:\IBM\tivoli\Tipv2\profiles\TIPProfile.
The audit log is composed of 10 files, named audit.log.0, audit.log.1...audit.log.9.
File audit.log.0 logs the most recent activity
and audit.log.9 logs the least recent activity.

Procedure
- Open the Health Monitor task. The Health Monitor panel
displays the following sections:
- Clients Summary
- Audit Logs
- Alerts
In the Audit Logs section,
the most recent events are listed.
- Optional: To display more events, click More log entries . . ..
- Optional: Filter the log
entries that are displayed.
- In the filter text field, type a text string.
- Click the arrow to the left of the filter text field.
- From the list of names in the Filter On box,
select one or more column names.
- Click OK. The log entries are filtered according to your filter
criteria.
For example, if you typed *fail and selected
the Message Text column
name, all entries with fail in the message text are
displayed.
More strings are matched when you use wildcards
in the filter text. An asterisk replaces several characters. A question
mark replaces one character. If you use an asterisk or wildcard in
the filter text, the blank space beyond the end of your filter text
matches any text.
