Default Parameters for MsgLogTest

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MsgLogTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the LOGFILE text box, specify the name of the log file to be monitored.

• Enter the full path to the specified log file in the LOGDIR text box.

• In the EMPTYFILE text box, enter either true or false. The entry true instructs the eG system to monitor even empty log files. The entry false instructs the eG system to ignore empty log files. By default, the EMPTYFILE text box will hold the value false. 

Note:

If a log file to be monitored is not found or is empty, then the errcount will be 0.

• In order to track critical exceptions logged in the log file, you need to specify the pattern of such exceptions  in the HIGHPATTERN text box. For eg., if critical exception logs contain the string "Error", then your pattern specification could be *Error*. A leading '*' signifies any number of leading characters, while a trailing '*' signifies any number of trailing characters.

• To monitor minor exceptions logged in the log file, the pattern of the minor exceptions have to be specified in the LOWPATTERN text box. For eg., if minor exception logs contain the string "Low", then the pattern specification could be *Low*. A leading '*' signifies any number of leading characters, while a trailing '*' signifies any number of trailing characters. 

• For monitoring the medium exceptions in the log file, the pattern of these exceptions need to be defined in the MEDIUMPATTERN text box. For eg., if medium exception logs contain the string "Warning", then the pattern specification could be *Warning*. A leading '*' signifies any number of leading characters, while a trailing '*' signifies any number of trailing characters.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
