You can use the message center in the
web console to assess the real-time health of the entire data grid
and collective. The events that are displayed
in the message center are a subset of events that are filtered to
display the most critical issues.
Procedure
- View severe errors, FFDC messages, and start and stop server
events through event notifications in the web console. These
notifications display automatically when you are logged into any page
in the web console.
- View messages in the message center. In the
web console, click . The message center
displays the last 1000 critical messages that have been sent through
the catalog server message hub.
The catalog server message hub
filters the messages that display, so the 1000 messages that display.
Therefore, the message center contains a subset of all of the critical
events that are occurring on the catalog servers. If new messages
become available while you have the page open, an information message
with the option to refresh the page is displayed at the top of the
page.
- Filter the messages that are displayed in the message center. You can add up to three filtering rules. A rule consists of
the column, condition, and value.
- In the web console, click .
- Click the filter button (
).
- Add a rule.
- Click the add button (
).
- Choose the column in the message center on which you want to filter:
- ID
- The event ID generated by the message center.
- Type
- The type of message, which indicates the severity of the message.
Valid values are: Severe, Warning, Error, and Information.
- Date
- The date and time when the message was generated.
- Source
- The server where the message originated.
- Message
- The message text for the message event.
- Select the condition to which you want to apply the filter. The
following list of conditions are valid for most of the columns, other
than date and type:
- Contains
- Is
- Starts with
- Ends with
- Enter a value on which you want to filter the column.
Example: To display messages for server1
only, select the Source column. Then, select
the Is condition. For the value, type server1.
- You can choose to match any or all of the rules that
you have defined.
- Click Filter to apply the configured
filters to the message center output.
Disable the message
center. Disabling the message center stops polling for
new messages. Click Disable the message center and toaster
alerts. After you disable the message center, you must
apply the setting.
