About Event Attributes and Log File Format


Each event within the log file contains information about the associated application condition, including:

  • Event Identifier
    • Type (category)
    • Subtype
  • Timestamp
  • Severity Level
  • Details (metrics) about the event

For examples of individual events and their attribute values, see Examples of Siebel Server Log Files and Examples of Component Log Files. For an example of a group of events collected within a log file, see Example of Detailed Component Log File.

Events are written to and collected in a log file in the order of their occurrence. Each log file contains a header that provides information on the individual log file. The following is an example of a log file header:
