Siebel System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide > Monitoring and Analyzing Data Using Siebel Diagnostic Tool > Using Event Log Analysis to Monitor Session Errors and EventsThis topic describes the Event Log Analysis feature for Siebel Diagnostic Tool and describes how to use Event Log Analysis to monitor, analyze, and diagnose session errors and events. About Event Log AnalysisEvent Log Analysis provides access to user session log and error detail data for specific user sessions at the enterprise, server group, server, and component levels. It also provides the ability to diagnose and identify the cause of a user session problem. Event Log Analysis is the only Siebel Diagnostic Tool feature that retrieves data across all servers within a specified enterprise. For example, you can query for session details for a particular user or for all users. If you query User Name with the value, User A, then all tasks started by User A are retrieved. Whereas, if you do not specify any value for User Name, then all matching tasks within the enterprise are retrieved. Typically, you query for user session details in the following ways:
However, you can also query by specifying: About Date Range QueriesDate range queries allow you to limit the number of results retrieved for a particular search by specifying a Start Time and an End Time. For example, if you specify a start time of 11:00 in the morning and end time of 2:00 in the afternoon, then only log files with a start time between 11:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. are retrieved. TIP: By default, when you click the Now link next to the Start Time and End time date fields, the time displayed is the current time. You change these fields for your specific queries, keeping the server time zone in mind when you do so. Table 33 shows the results given for different date range queries.
For more information about other Siebel Diagnostic Tool Query Parameter fields, see About Siebel Diagnostic Tool Query Parameter Fields. How to Use Event Log AnalysisWhen you submit a query using the Event Log Analysis screen, all matching sessions across the various Siebel Servers are retrieved. The data retrieved is stored in the S_SRM_TASK_HIST table in the Siebel database, and the results are displayed in the Session Query Results view where you can see the encountered errors for a task, or view the task log file. If errors are encountered, the Errors and Download links on the form applet in the Session Query Results view become active. You can then click one of these links to view the following:
