The event viewer shows FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, and AUDIT events that happened during a certain period of time preceding the current time as defined by the system clock. Associated with the Event viewer there are two secondary windows: Event Viewer and the Event Details.

Event viewer properties
Log Limit  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
How many serious event records to keep at one time. In other words, this specifies the size of the serious event pool.

When the log limit is reached and a new serious event occurs, the record for the least recent event is discarded. A record is created for the new event.

Serious Event Pool Interval  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
How often to update the serious event pool with newly discovered serious events.

Serious Event Readback Interval  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
See the description below.
Show Audit Messages  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
Whether to consider AUDITs, or informational statements about significant events, to be serious events. Terminate events are also included. If the check box is not enabled, neither AUDITs nor terminate events will be displayed on the console as serious events.

Show Severe Errors  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
Whether to consider fatal trace events and error trace events to be serious events. If the check box is not enabled, they will not be displayed as serious events.

Show Warning Messages  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
Whether to consider WARNINGs to be serious events. If the check box is not enabled, WARNINGs will not be displayed as serious events.

Warnings indicate a problem has occurred that must be fixed to prevent a more serious problem.

Event details (read only)
ID  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The number of the serious event, with respect to the log limit. For example, the event might be number 4 of the 50 most recent serious events.

Node  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The node (physical machine) on which the serious event occurred

Server  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The application server on which the serious event occurred

Source  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The code file in which the serious event occurred

Thread ID  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The ID of the thread in which the serious event occurred

Time  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The time at which the serious event occurred

Type  Property name in the Java-based administrative console
The type of serious event, such as an AUDIT, FATAL, or WARNING

In the Event Viewer, the type column shows Fatal and Errors with the red icon. Warnings are showed with a yellow icon. Audits and Terminates are shown as a green icon. In the Details window, the type is shown as FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, AUDIT, or TERMINATE.

Serious Event Readback Interval

By default, the event viewer displays events that happened in the last five (5) minutes. To change the value of this SeriousEventReadbackInterval, create a file product_installation_root/bin/ejsconsole.properties. In the file, set the directive:

SeriousEvenReadbackInterval=n

where n is an integer specifying the number of minutes.
