Since there has been minimal activity in your student
domain, your log will likely contain only one or two
messages. The following image shows a more active log.
For additional filtering, you can click a transaction id (tid), client IP address, or error code. Each of these
opens a new window with messages related to the selected value; for example, clicking a transaction ID
displays only messages from that transaction.
1.13.2 Log targets
The logging subsystem on WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances is based on the “publish-subscribe”
paradigm that enables distribution of selected messages to various protocols and destinations.
Publishers include the DataPower appliance itself as well as the various user-configured services and
their supporting objects. For example, the DataPower appliance may log a message to indicate that a
network connection is failing. Similarly, a user-configured MQ front side handler may log a message to
indicate that the queue manager has become unresponsive.
Log targets act as the subscribers to published messages. Log targets can:
● Capture messages and forward them to a variety of different logging server types such as
syslog and syslog-ng.
● Save messages in DataPower’s flash memory or on the built-in logging hard drive.
● FTP saved log files off the appliance to an FTP server.
● Subscribe or suppress messages by event codes or category.
● Filter messages for a specific user-configured object.
● Filter messages associated with a specific IP address.
