What logger events are

Logger events are notifications that a queue manager has started writing to a new log extent, or on i5/OS a journal receiver.

The event data of a logger event message contains the following:

• The name of the current log extent.

• The name of the earliest log extent needed for restart recovery.

• The name of the earliest log extent needed for media recovery.

• The directory in which the log extents are located.

For information on restart and media recovery, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide.

Every logger event message that is generated is placed on the logger event queue, SYSTEM.ADMIN.LOGGER.EVENT.

For more information about the event data returned in logger event messages see: Event message reference.
