EventLog
The Event Log is a fault isolation tool that allows network administrators access to the
historically archived database of all events associated with a single landscape. Event
Log provides the following features:
• Viewing of archived events by a user defined range, or by the most current range of
events across a single landscape.
• Three tier sorting of events. Sort fields include: model name, model type name, event
code, user name, date and time, and event message.
• Advance filtering mechanism that allows for precise filter of events.
• Context-sensitive help and online documentation.
• Display to allow viewing of a user defined range of events.
• Print mechanism to make a hard copy of the Event Log.
• The ability to access and display archived events seamlessly as if the events were
not archived.
Known EventLog Anomalies in SPECTRUM
6.0.2
Problem 1: On Windows NT, the Mysqld process (mysqld-nt.exe)
consumes 100% of CPU resources when you use an advanced filter with at
least 2 entries on many (near 10,000) events. This may cause the EventLog
to hang, and be placed into the “Not Responding” state in the Windows NT
Task Manager. The query will run but it may take some time.
Solution: Be careful not to construct a filter that will generate so many
events that could hang the mysqld-nt.exe process.
