Log Analyzer
The Log Analyzer is a GUI tool that allows the user to view any logs generated with the loganalyzer TraceFormat, such as the IBM service log file and other traces using this format. It can take one or more service logs or trace logs, merge all the data, and display the entries in sequence.
Log Analyzer is shipped with an XML database, the symptom database, which contains entries for common problems, reasons for the errors, and recovery steps. The Log Analyzer compares every error record in the log file to the internal set of known problems in the symptom database and displays all the matches. This allows the user to get error message explanations and information such as why the error occurred and how to recover from it. Figure 16-20 shows the conceptual model of Log Analyzer.
