Diagnostics: View Events Log Table

Column Display     Related Tasks     Related Topics

This page displays the contents of the instrumentation events log.

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, and NOT, 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	Date when this event was generated.
Timestamp	The date and time this log record was generated, in milliseconds. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive TIMESTAMP 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 EventsDataArchive CONTEXTID column in the WLDF Archive.
Transaction ID	The identifier for the transaction that initiated this diagnostic event. Present only for messages logged in the context of a transaction. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive TXID column in the WLDF Archive.
User ID	The user ID under which this diagnostic event was executed. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive USERID column in the WLDF Archive.
Type	Type of diagnostic action triggered by this diagnostic event. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive TYPE column in the WLDF Archive.
Scope	Server or application scope in which this diagnostic event was generated. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive SCOPE column in the WLDF Archive.
Module	Diagnostic module through which this diagnostic event was generated. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive MODULE column in the WLDF Archive.
Monitor	Diagnostic monitor that triggered this diagnostic event. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive MONITOR column in the WLDF Archive.
Class	Name of the Java class containing the instrumented method. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive CLASSNAME column in the WLDF Archive.
Method	Name of the instrumented method that generated this diagnostic event. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive METHODNAME column in the WLDF Archive.
Method Descriptor	The descriptor of the method that generated this diagnostic event. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive METHODDSC column in the WLDF Archive.
Arguments	Arguments passed to the method that generated this diagnostic event, if any. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive ARGUMENTS column in the WLDF Archive.
return Value	Value returned by the method that generated this diagnostic event, if any. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive RETVAL column in the WLDF Archive.
Payload	The diagnostic context payload associated with diagnostic event. When specifying a WLDF query expression to filter this table, note that this column corresponds to the EventsDataArchive PAYLOAD column in the WLDF Archive.
