Measures reported by PepAppLogTest

The APPSRV.LOG file contains PeopleTools specific logging information. Certificate authentication logs, including information about mismatched distinguished names and certificates that are not in the database, is contained within this log file. In addition, the log file also shows the current service count for an AppServer process, and when a specific process was recycled/spawned. By periodically scanning these log files for specific patterns of log entries, administrators can quickly capture certificate errors, know when a process was spawned, and determine which services are offered by which server process. This is exactly what the PepAppLogTest test.

This test periodically searches the APPSRV.LOG file for specific patterns of error/general information messages and reports the count and nature of such messages, so as to enable administrators to troubleshoot better and to easily obtain configuration details.

The measures made by this test are as follows:
