Analytics Web Message Structure


Each message that is logged by Siebel Analytics Web has several components to it, as shown in Table 15.

Table 15. Siebel Analytics Web Log Message Components
Message Component
Description

Message Text

The text of the log message to the user.

Message Type

One of four types: information, warning, error and security.

The first three are self-explanatory. Security is reserved for auditing security type of information such as user logged in, login failed, user accessed catalog item XYZ, and so on.

Severity

The severity is represented as a nonnegative integer.

The lower the value, the more important the message. A message with severity 0 is the most important type of message; a message with severity 1000 is not important at all.

Log Sources

Log sources indicate where the message is coming from.

Sources are always of the form saw.component.subComponent.function. There is no limit on the number of "dots" in a source. The source can be as many levels deep as the programmer decides to make it. Moreover, each logged message may have one or more log sources associated with it, depending on what code path caused that error to be logged.

For example, the message "Unable to open file" could be logged with the stack of sources {saw.delivers, saw.charts} as well as the log source stack {saw.views, saw.pdf}.

The command option sawserver /logsources (case insensitive) prints all known log sources.

Message Properties

Properties that indicate various other kinds of information. The kind varies from message to message, and may include username, IP address of client browser, thread ID, and so on.
