Viewing Log Entries

You can view extra information about each entry in your log file. For example, you can view the attributes from the event collection database tables that the entry uses, its raw message and any XML responses.

Procedure

  1. Select a log entry.
  2. To view all the information for a log entry, click either Views > Show Entry or the Entries icon ().
    The Show current message dialog displays. The dialog shows:
    • Attributes. This displays the available attributes in the currently loaded log files. The attributes define the different types of information that you can obtain from Event Collector database tables. For an explanation of the attributes in the event collector database tables, see Event Collector Schema Reference guide.
    • Raw Message. This displays the log message as it appears in the log file.
    • Pretty-printed message. This displays any XML responses from the logged event.
  3. Select Keep on Top to always display the Show current Message dialog.
