This chapter describes how to monitor Oracle WebCenter Content Server and Inbound Refinery logs, performance information, and MBean information by using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.
This chapter includes the following topics:
You can view log messages and manage the log configuration for the Content Server or InBound Refinery instance using the Fusion Middleware Control interface.
Section 7.1.1, "Viewing Log Information Using Fusion Middleware Control"
Section 7.1.2, "Modifying Log Information Using Fusion Middleware Control"
Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
In the navigation tree, expand the appropriate domain name (for example, Farm_base_domain), then WebCenter, then Content.
For the Content Server instance, expand Content Server, then select the Content Server instance name (for example, Oracle WebCenter Content - Content Server (UCM_server1)).
For the Inbound Refinery instance, expand Oracle Inbound Refinery, then select the Inbound Refinery instance name (for example, IBR (IBR_server1)).
On the home page for the instance, from the Content Server or IBR menu choose Logs, then View Log Messages.
The Log Messages page contains information about the contents of all available log files. You can use this page to:
Search for log messages logged during the past "n" hours.
Search for log messages that were logged between two time intervals.
Filter log messages based on message type.
Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
In the navigation tree, expand the appropriate domain name (for example, Farm_base_domain), then WebCenter, then Content.
For the Content Server instance, expand Content Server, then select the Content Server instance name (for example, Oracle WebCenter Content - Content Server (UCM_server1)).
For the Inbound Refinery instance, expand Oracle Inbound Refinery, then select the Inbound Refinery instance name (for example, IBR (IBR_server1)).
On the home page for the instance, from the Content Server or IBR menu choose Logs, then Log Configuration.
Use the Log Configuration page to configure basic and advanced log configuration settings for log levels and log files. You can:
Change log levels of persistent loggers (loggers defined in the logging configuration file).
Change log levels of run-time loggers.
Specify loggers that are currently neither persistent nor run time.
Specify the log file configuration parameters such as the log file path and log rotation policies.
Create a new log file configuration.
Create a new log file configuration using an existing log file configuration.
View the log file configuration parameters.
Associate one or more loggers with a log file configuration.
Fore more details, see Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.
Note:
For information about logging for IBM WebSphere, see "Configuring Oracle Fusion Middleware Logging on IBM WebSphere" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Third-Party Application Server Guide.You can monitor performance information for the Content Server or Inbound Refinery instance to quickly assess the performance of the system. Information includes a graph of key metrics and values, and a listing of recent service requests.
To view performance information:
Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
In the navigation tree, expand the appropriate domain name (for example, Farm_base_domain), then WebCenter, then Content.
For the Content Server instance, expand Content Server, then select the Content Server instance name (for example, Oracle WebCenter Content - Content Server (UCM_server1)).
For the Inbound Refinery instance, expand Oracle Inbound Refinery, then select the Inbound Refinery instance name (for example, IBR (IBR_server1)).
On the home page for the instance, from the Content Server or IBR menu choose Monitoring, then Performance Summary. The Performance Summary page appears.
By default, the Performance Summary page shows the performance metrics for the past 15 minutes. You can use the Slider or the Enter Time icon to change the time period for metrics to appear.
The Performance Summary page displays information in a graph format. To view metrics in a table format, select Table View.
The key Inbound Refinery metric displayed by default is the rate of conversion, measured in documents per minute. Key Content Server metrics are described in Table 7-1.

You can use the MBean browser to view MBean attribute information about the Content Server or Inbound Refinery instance.
To view MBean information:
Log in to Fusion Middleware Control.
In the navigation tree, expand the appropriate domain name (for example, Farm_base_domain), then WebCenter, then Content.
For the Content Server instance, expand Content Server, then select the Content Server instance name (for example, Oracle WebCenter Content - Content Server (UCM_server1)).
For the Inbound Refinery instance, expand Oracle Inbound Refinery, then select the Inbound Refinery instance name (for example, IBR (IBR_server1)).
On the home page for the instance, from the Content Server or IBR menu choose System MBean Browser.
The System MBean Browser page displays the navigation pane with the instance name highlighted and the configuration MBean application deployment information for the instance.
On the Attributes tab, you can view individual attribute names, descriptions, type of access, and values. If you change an attribute value, click Apply.
On the Operations tab, you can view and invoke individual MBean operations.
To view details, select an MBean.
To apply an MBean operation, select Invoke.
To reset an operation to its previous setting, click Revert.
To go back to the Operations tab, click Return.
