Searching Log Files

You can search the log files in the Log Viewer using a text based search or using Event Collector Query Language (ECQL) to define your search.

Note: The BPM logs always display the default name for work item attributes. For example, attribute1, attribute2 and so on.

As well as performing a search, you can go to a particular line in a log file by clicking Goto Line and typing the line number of the line you want to go to.

Procedure

  1. From Log Viewer, click Find.
  2. From the Search dialog, type the text you want to search for in the Search Term box. You can perform a text search or use an expression based on Event Collector Query Language (ECQL). See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Developer's Guide about defining queries using ECQL.
  3. Specify the search direction.
    • Select Forwards if you want the search to start at the beginning of the log file.
    • Select Backwards if you want the search to start from the end of the log file.
  4. Specify the search type.
    • Select Full Text if you are performing a text search. The Log Viewer displays log entries that match any text that you enter.
    • Select ECQL if you want to use ECQL to define the search. See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM Developer's Guide about defining queries using ECQL.
  5. Click Find.
    The log entries that match your search are highlighted in the Log Viewer.
  6. Click the cross icon to close the Search dialog.
