Diagnostics: View Server Log Table
Column Display Related Tasks Related Topics
This page shows you the latest contents of the server log file.
To select log messages generated during a specific time interval, or to enter a filter expression, select Customize this table. You can set the following customizations:
- Start of the custom time interval during which you want to be able to select messages for viewing. Use a date and 24-hour format expressed as
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
. For example,01/15/10 14:30:00
.- End of the custom time interval during which you want messages displayed for selection. Use a date and 24-hour format expressed as
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
. For example,01/18/10 22:00:00
.- Filter expression, which is specified as a string in the WLDF Query Language. The query language supports the Boolean operators
AND
,OR
, andNOT
, and also supports relational operators. When creating a filter expression, note the following:
- Each of the different log types has a different set of column names that can be specified in the WLDF Query Expression. For example, the server log and domain log have the Severity and Message ID columns, but the events log and metrics log do not.
- The names of each column on this page are not identical to the corresponding column names in the WLDF Archive. Therefore, when constructing a filter expression that includes a column name, you must specify the column name as it appears in the WLDF Archive. For example, a filter expression that specifies data in the Transaction ID column uses the column name
TXID
in that expression. Refer to the description of each column name below for the corresponding column name in the WLDF Archive.- For more information about the valid column names that can be used in filter expressions for each log type, including examples, see "Data Store Column Names" in Configuring and Using the Diagnostics Framework for Oracle WebLogic Server (link at bottom of this help topic).
Column Display
You can show fewer or additional data points on this page by expanding Customize this table and modifying the Column Display list. Each data point displays in its own table column.
The following table lists all of the data points that you can display in columns on this page.
Name Description Date Time and date when the message originated, in a format that is specific to the locale.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
DATE
column in the WLDF Archive.Severity Indicates the degree of impact or seriousness of the event reported by the message.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
SEVERITY
column in the WLDF Archive.Subsystem Indicates the subsystem of WebLogic Server that was the source of the message; for example, Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) container or Java Messaging Service (JMS).
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
SUBSYSTEM
column in the WLDF Archive.Machine Identifies the origins of the message:Machine Name is the DNS name of the computer that hosts the server instance.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
MACHINE
column in the WLDF Archive.Server Server Name is the name of the WebLogic Server instance on which the message was generated.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
SERVER
column in the WLDF Archive.Thread Thread ID is the ID that the JVM assigns to the thread in which the message originated.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
THREAD
column in the WLDF Archive.User ID The user ID under which the associated event was executed. To execute some pieces of internal code, WebLogic Server authenticates the ID of the user who initiates the execution and then runs the code under a special Kernel Identity user ID. Java EE modules such as EJBs that are deployed onto a server instance report the user ID that the module passes to the server.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
USERID
column in the WLDF Archive.Transaction ID Present only for messages logged within the context of a transaction.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
TXID
column in the WLDF Archive.Context ID Diagnostic context information to correlate messages coming from a specific request or application.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
CONTEXTID
column in the WLDF Archive.Timestamp The timestamp in milliseconds.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
TIMESTAMP
column in the WLDF Archive.Message ID A unique six-digit identifier. All message IDs that WebLogic Server system messages generate start with BEA- and fall within a numerical range of 0-499999.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
MSGID
column in the WLDF Archive.Message A description of the event or condition.
When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the ServerLog
MESSAGE
column in the WLDF Archive.
