IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Error logging for stored data
If the warehouse proxy agent encounters errors during the roll-off of data to the Tivoli Data Warehouse, these errors are recorded in an event log. You can set a trace option to capture additional error messages, and then view the log to help in detecting problems.
Procedure
- Open the event log where the warehouse proxy errors are listed:
- Start the Event Viewer by clicking Start → Programs → Administrative Tools → Event Viewer, then select Application from the Log menu. If an error occurs during data roll-off, entries are inserted into the Windows Application Event Log.
- Open the ITM_dir/logs/*hd*.log file.
- On either platform, errors can also be seen in the WAREHOUSELOG table in the warehouse database.
- Activate the trace option:
- In Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services, right-click Warehouse Proxy and select Advanced Edit Trace Parms.
- Select the RAS1 filters. The default setting is ERROR.
- Accept the defaults for the rest of the fields.
- Click Yes to recycle the service.
- View the trace log containing the error messages:
- In Manage Tivoli Monitoring Services, right-click Warehouse Proxy and select Advanced → View Trace Log. The Log Viewer window displays a list of log files for the warehouse proxy.
- Select the appropriate log file in Select Log File. All logs are listed in this window, ordered by most recent file.
- Click OK.
